I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate with most of my time going to shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before making the day harder than it needs to be.

What is actually listed here

At Star Lake, the current fish record includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first fishing plan would include weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the day practical and easy to change.

My first-day plan

If I were starting from scratch on Star Lake, I would use the fish list and the lake's size as a guide, then let current conditions settle the details, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
