For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever and the first places I would give a fair shot are the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would give the fish a chance to show me whether they want shallow cover or nearby depth.

Fish tied to this lake

The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Alex Pond; which makes it reasonable to try weeds and easy cover for panfish and weed lines and baitfish areas for pike or musky, and let current conditions settle the details.

How I would keep it simple

If I were headed to Alex Pond tomorrow, I would keep the tackle simple, pick a manageable section, and let the first signs of fish decide the next move, and I would make a quick regulation check part of the trip plan, not an afterthought at the ramp.
