I would rather fish a handful of good-looking spots well and I would begin around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.
The fishing side of the page
The fish tied to this exact Bass Lake record include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which keeps me focused on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep one good idea at a time instead of changing everything.
A laid-back first trip
If I wanted the first trip to Bass Lake to actually teach me something, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, then I would double-check seasons and limits because the fish list on this page is not the rule book.
