I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits with the first real effort focused on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.
The fish list
The fish currently listed for Bass Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would spend the first serious effort on 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.
What I would try before anything fancy
If this were my day on Bass Lake, I would bring a couple of dependable baits, fish the best-looking water I can reach, and pay attention to what the first few bites have in common, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
