Sauk County is home to White Mound Lake, a mapped reservoir and the current record puts it at about 93 acres and a maximum depth of 16 feet, and those numbers are a useful reality check before you start making a fishing plan.

I would let the first few spots tell me what kind of day it is going to be with a short rotation through shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because good fishing usually gets simpler once one clue starts repeating.
The species on record
For fishing, the current record for White Mound Lake shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which tells me to think about 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.
What I would do first
If I were putting together a simple plan for White Mound Lake, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, and I would not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
