On the map, Pine Lake shows up as a lake in Waukesha County with the available water data listing about 711 acres and a maximum depth of 85 feet, and that is a much better place to start than pretending every lake fishes the same.

I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance and I would start where I can clearly see or understand one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break before making the day harder than it needs to be.
Fish recorded in this water
The species record attached to Pine Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.
An easy starting plan
For a first trip to Pine Lake, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
