On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try by giving the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach more than a couple of throwaway casts and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.
The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch for West Lake; and that is enough to put some time into 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 I wanted to learn West Lake without overdoing it, I would make a short plan, fish it honestly, and change areas only when the water gives me a reason, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
