On the map, Osceola Lake shows up as a lake in Polk County and the water facts we have show about 42 acres and a maximum depth of 14 feet, which is the first thing I would want to know if a buddy asked me about this place.

I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance and I would build the day around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.
Fish recorded in this water
The species record attached to Osceola Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which gives me something real to work with around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stick with what produces signs of life.
An easy starting plan
For a first trip to Osceola Lake, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
