I would let the first few spots tell me what kind of day it is going to be with a short rotation through the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I spent the rest of the day chasing somebody else's old fishing report.
For fishing, the current record for Trostel Lake shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, 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 keep the first trip from getting too complicated.
If I were putting together a simple plan for Trostel Lake, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, then I would confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
