I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more and I would start where I can clearly see or understand one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break before I started running around looking for something better.
The water-specific species list for McCullough Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep the rest of the day loose.
For the opening trip to McCullough Lake, I would fish the places that make sense for the species on the list and avoid chasing every rumor I heard online, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
