The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable and I would make the opening plan about the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I spent the rest of the day chasing somebody else's old fishing report.
Species already connected to this water
Fish recorded for Rock Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would make room in the tackle box for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and let current conditions settle the details.
The first trip does not need to be fancy
If I only had one day to learn Rock Lake, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, then I would confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
