I would keep the first trip pretty simple by spending the early part of the day on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.
On the species side, Wescott Lake currently has Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch on record; and that gives me a simple starting point with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and find out which part of the species list is actually active that day.
If we were fishing Wescott Lake together, I would start with a simple plan and only add complexity if the fish make me, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
