I would not try to turn the first trip into a science project with my first few stops centered on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because a few careful stops usually teach you more than a pile of random casts.
The current inventory does not give me enough exact-water fish data for Rat Lake; for now, i would fish what the water shows me and verify species before making a species-specific trip, and and leave the rest of the plan flexible.
Going into a first day on Rat Lake, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, then I would read the current Wisconsin DNR rules so nothing about the trip is based on an old limit.
