If this were my first time here, I would keep the plan basic with a simple look at shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I let one slow spot convince me the whole lake is dead.
Species worth planning around
The fish data for Meadow Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep the rest of the day loose.
A practical first pass
If the goal were simply to get a feel for Meadow Lake, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, then the only homework left is checking the current Wisconsin season, bag, and size rules.
