Spencer Lake is a lake on the Waupaca County map with published numbers of about 70 acres and a maximum depth of 53 feet, and that gives you a simple feel for the lake before tackle choices even matter.

I would not try to turn the first trip into a science project by giving shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank more than a couple of throwaway casts and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.
The current species list
Right now, the inventory connects Spencer Lake with Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; and that is enough to put some time into weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.
How I would learn the lake
Going into a first day on Spencer Lake, I would make a short plan, fish it honestly, and change areas only when the water gives me a reason, then I would verify the latest bag, size, and season information before fishing.
