The first trip does not need a giant tackle plan and I would make sure I actually fish shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because a few careful stops usually teach you more than a pile of random casts.
Recorded species at Thompson Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which tells me to think about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and see what actually shows up before changing directions.
If I had a few hours to figure out Thompson Lake, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, then I would read the current Wisconsin DNR rules so nothing about the trip is based on an old limit.
