I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance with a simple look at shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.
Fish recorded in this water
The species record attached to Shallow Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first trip would at least account for weeds and easy cover for panfish, and find out which part of the species list is actually active that day.
An easy starting plan
For a first trip to Shallow Lake, I would start with obvious fish-holding water and let actual bites tell me whether to stay or move, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
