On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try with the first real effort focused on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because good fishing usually gets simpler once one clue starts repeating.
Fish you may run into
The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch for White Bass Lake; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid turning a simple trip into a gear-hauling contest.
How I would break it down
If I wanted to learn White Bass Lake without overdoing it, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
