My first day here would stay uncomplicated with the first real effort focused on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would give the fish a chance to show me whether they want shallow cover or nearby depth.
What the fish list tells you
The exact-water list for Turtle Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Yellow Perch; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and let current conditions settle the details.
Where I would start
If I had never seen Turtle Lake before, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, then I would confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
