I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance by spending the early part of the day on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I started digging through the tackle box for a magic answer.
Fish recorded in this water
The species record attached to Loon Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that gives me a simple starting point with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and make the first hour useful instead of random.
An easy starting plan
For a first trip to Loon Lake, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
