I would make the first trip about learning the water, not conquering it with my first few stops centered on 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.
For this exact water, the recorded fish are Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which gives me a good reason to start with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and see what actually shows up before changing directions.
If a buddy asked me how to start on Mill 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 make sure the current Wisconsin fishing regulations do not add a special rule for this water.
