I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more with my first few stops centered on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because a few careful stops usually teach you more than a pile of random casts.
Fish to think about
The water-specific species list for Minnow Lake includes 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 leave room to adjust if the first idea is wrong.
Where I would put my time
For the opening trip to Minnow Lake, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, then I would read the current Wisconsin DNR rules so nothing about the trip is based on an old limit.
