For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one straightforward piece of water until I see enough in the opening stretch, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
Shoal Creek Lake does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until a dependable agency source confirms the number before trusting a number and stay around one promising section of bank until I get a clear read from the first area.
Public fish information tied specifically to Shoal Creek Lake is sparse, so I would start with a small tackle bag with a few soft plastics and live bait around one easy-to-read section of bank and avoid specializing until I get a clear read from the first adjustment. The first trip to Shoal Creek Lake is easier to read when the tackle stays simple around one manageable shoreline stretch, at least until I learn something from the first few casts.
If I were seeing Shoal Creek Lake for the first time, I would work one nearby shoreline stretch with only a few dependable baits and change one variable at a time after I learn something from the nearby water.

After I find a repeatable bite in the first area, I would leave Shoal Creek Lake knowing that one straightforward section of water deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
