You will find Whitey Lake in Oneida County, where it is classified as a lake and its basic numbers come out to about 7 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 avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate with my first few stops centered on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because good fishing usually gets simpler once one clue starts repeating.
What is actually listed here
At Whitey Lake, the current fish record includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which gives me a good reason to start with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stick with what produces signs of life.
My first-day plan
If I were starting from scratch on Whitey Lake, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, and I would not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
