I would make the first trip about learning the water, not conquering it and I would start where I can clearly see or understand shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.
What you can fish for
For this exact water, the recorded fish are Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and find out which part of the species list is actually active that day.
Keeping the first trip simple
If a buddy asked me how to start on Wazeecha Lake, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
