I would rather fish a handful of good-looking spots well and I would make the opening plan about shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the easiest way to waste a day is to keep moving without learning anything.
The fish tied to this exact Atkins Lake record include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which is enough for me to plan around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and avoid chasing a totally different kind of fishing without a reason.
If I wanted the first trip to Atkins Lake to actually teach me something, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, then I would verify any special water rules before deciding what can go in the cooler.
