If this were my first time here, I would keep the plan basic by making an honest pass along shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would only make a big move if those places truly look empty.
Species worth planning around
The fish data for Miles Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and see what actually shows up before changing directions.
A practical first pass
If the goal were simply to get a feel for Miles Lake, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, and I would make sure the current Wisconsin fishing regulations do not add a special rule for this water.
