I would rather fish a handful of good-looking spots well by making an honest pass along one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.
The fish tied to this exact Wind Lake record include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye, plus 1 more; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and make the first hour useful instead of random.
If I wanted the first trip to Wind Lake to actually teach me something, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
