I would keep the first trip pretty simple by giving one manageable section of the lake instead of trying to cover the whole thing more than a couple of throwaway casts and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.
On the species side, Pickerel Lake currently has Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch on record; and that is enough to put some time into weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.
If we were fishing Pickerel Lake together, I would make a short plan, fish it honestly, and change areas only when the water gives me a reason, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
