I would not try to turn the first trip into a science project 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.
Right now, the inventory connects West Lake with Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which gives me something real to work with around 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.
Going into a first day 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.
