This Racine County water is Overson Pond, a lake and the basic lake data comes in at about 0.4 acres and a maximum depth of 6 feet, which is the first thing I would want to know if a buddy asked me about this place.

I would make the first trip about learning the water, not conquering it and I would begin around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I started digging through the tackle box for a magic answer.
What you can fish for
For this exact water, the recorded fish are Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which keeps me focused on weeds and easy cover for panfish, and make the first hour useful instead of random.
Keeping the first trip simple
If a buddy asked me how to start on Overson Pond, I would start with a simple plan and only add complexity if the fish make me, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
