This Marion County water is recorded as Black Lake, a lake, and I would spend the opening part of the trip around one nearby section of bank to learn the nearby water before adding more tackle. I would give one manageable section of bank enough time to tell me whether the opening plan deserves more attention, because the first trip does not need to solve the whole lake.
Black Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Surface area, maximum depth, and storage are not well documented for Black Lake, so the better first step is to study the shoreline in front of me and plan modestly until I can judge the lake in person. Until I know the size of Black Lake better, I would work one promising shoreline stretch and use that section to learn the scale of the place.
Fishing This Water
The fishery at Black Lake is lightly documented, so I would use a simple freshwater kit with live bait plus one or two simple lures and let the first catches narrow the plan. The first fish from Black Lake can narrow the plan as I work through the water in front of me while keeping the first adjustment easy to understand.
A Practical Black Lake Game Plan
I would approach Black Lake by choosing one sheltered part of the lake, one target, and a small tackle selection, then rework only what the first few bites justify while keeping the day focused on learning instead of covering distance. If one short part of the lake becomes the first reliable area on Black Lake, I would stop searching randomly and fish it properly, which is enough progress for a productive first visit.
