I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate with a simple look at one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break before I started running around looking for something better.
What is actually listed here
At Sugar Camp Lake, the current fish record includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Yellow Perch; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.
My first-day plan
If I were starting from scratch on Sugar Camp Lake, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
