When it is time to actually fish, i would avoid running far without a reason and save the bigger decisions for later.
The current record leaves part of the water profile unanswered, so I would avoid calling it deep or shallow without evidence; That keeps future corrections simple and honest.
The current fish list includes Alligator Gar, American Eel, Bighead Carp, Bigmouth Buffalo, Black Buffalo, Black Bullhead, Black Carp, Black Crappie, Blue Catfish, Bluegill, Bowfin, and Channel Catfish, plus 30 other recorded species; the species tied to this water matter because it helps separate realistic targets from wishful thinking, and one good target is enough for the opening hour.
Before I call the plan finished, i would confirm the simple legal and access stuff before worrying about fishing details and then I would keep the rest of the plan simple.
