If this were my first time here, I would keep the plan basic and I would begin around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would pay more attention to where the first bite comes from than what lure caught it.
Species worth planning around
The fish data for Mirror Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which keeps me focused on 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.
A practical first pass
If the goal were simply to get a feel for Mirror Lake, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, then I would read the current Wisconsin DNR rules so nothing about the trip is based on an old limit.
