The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable and I would begin around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before making the day harder than it needs to be.

Species already connected to this water

Fish recorded for Marengo Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; and that gives me a simple starting point with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep the day practical and easy to change.

The first trip does not need to be fancy

If I only had one day to learn Marengo Lake, I would start with a simple plan and only add complexity if the fish make me, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
