I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance by making an honest pass along shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.
The species record attached to Pickerel Lake includes 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 keep the day practical and easy to change.
For a first trip to Pickerel Lake, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
