I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate by making an honest pass along shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I let one slow spot convince me the whole lake is dead.
What is actually listed here
At Swamsauger Lake, the current fish record includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and avoid hauling gear for every fish in Wisconsin.
My first-day plan
If I were starting from scratch on Swamsauger Lake, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, then the only homework left is checking the current Wisconsin season, bag, and size rules.
