Fish species in West Lake

I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate and I would build the day around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.

What is actually listed here

At West Lake, the current fish record includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which gives me something real to work with around weeds and easy cover for panfish, and find out which part of the species list is actually active that day.

My first-day plan

If I were starting from scratch on West Lake, I would start with obvious fish-holding water and let actual bites tell me whether to stay or move, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
