For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever by giving shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank more than a couple of throwaway casts and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.
The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Yellow Perch at Wilson 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 stick with what produces signs of life.
If I were headed to Wilson Lake tomorrow, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
