Lake Parker is a lake in Florida, near Polk County.
Lake Parker sits in Polk County and is classified as a lake; I would pick one nearby section of bank as the first section and keep fishing it until I get a useful answer from the first few casts. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one short section of bank until I get a useful answer from the first setup, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
In terms of scale, Lake Parker is described by about 2,185 surface acres and a maximum depth of 20 feet, so I would use that information to choose how much water to cover while fishing one sheltered shoreline stretch until I get a useful answer from the opening stretch.
Known fish for Lake Parker include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Redear Sunfish, and Warmouth, so I would build the first part of the day around one primary species at one straightforward shoreline stretch and avoid switching until I get a useful clue from the first area. If bass are present in Lake Parker, a spinnerbait plus a Texas-rigged plastic gives a practical combination around one easy-to-read section of water; I would change it only when I get a useful clue from the first adjustment.
If I were seeing Lake Parker for the first time, I would work one manageable section of water with only a few dependable baits and make the simplest change first after I see enough in the first few casts. If I see enough in the nearby water, I would stay around one nearby section of water on Lake Parker and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I see enough in the opening stretch, I would leave Lake Parker knowing that one short part of the lake deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
