I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate and the first places I would give a fair shot are one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break before I let one slow spot convince me the whole lake is dead.
At Sunset Lake, the current fish record includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye, plus 1 more; which makes it reasonable to try weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep the rest of the day loose.
If I were starting from scratch on Sunset Lake, I would bring a couple of dependable baits, fish the best-looking water I can reach, and pay attention to what the first few bites have in common, then the only homework left is checking the current Wisconsin season, bag, and size rules.
