I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits with a simple look at 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 fish currently listed for Prong Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid hauling gear for every fish in Wisconsin.
If this were my day on Prong Lake, I would start with obvious fish-holding water and let actual bites tell me whether to stay or move, and I would make sure the current Wisconsin fishing regulations do not add a special rule for this water.
