I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense with a short rotation through the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I started running around looking for something better.
The species currently tied to Sturgeon Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Lake Sturgeon, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Smallmouth Bass, plus 2 more; which tells me to think about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.
For somebody fishing Sturgeon Lake for the first time, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
