I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense and I would build the day around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because good fishing usually gets simpler once one clue starts repeating.
What the current record shows
The species currently tied to Oak Lake include 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 stick with what produces signs of life.
How I would fish it
For somebody fishing Oak Lake for the first time, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, and I would not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
