I would rather fish a handful of good-looking spots well and I would start where I can clearly see or understand the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I started digging through the tackle box for a magic answer.
The fishing side of the page
The fish tied to this exact Woodman Lake record include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.
A laid-back first trip
If I wanted the first trip to Woodman Lake to actually teach me something, I would fish the places that make sense for the species on the list and avoid chasing every rumor I heard online, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
