I would rather get two useful clues than make twenty random stops with a short rotation through 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.
The current fish list for Allen Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which tells me to think about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and let current conditions settle the details.
Before I made the drive to Allen Lake, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, and I would make a quick regulation check part of the trip plan, not an afterthought at the ramp.
