I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense by giving the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach more than a couple of throwaway casts because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.
The species currently tied to Bass Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep one good idea at a time instead of changing everything.
For somebody fishing Bass Lake for the first time, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
