I would not try to turn the first trip into a science project with the first real effort focused on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would only make a big move if those places truly look empty.
The current species list
Right now, the inventory connects Prairie Lake with Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and avoid hauling gear for every fish in Wisconsin.
How I would learn the lake
Going into a first day on Prairie Lake, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, then the only homework left is checking the current Wisconsin season, bag, and size rules.
