Bass Lake sits in Iron County and is listed as a lake with the latest inventory showing about 15 acres and a maximum depth of 35 feet, and that is plenty of context for deciding how much of the water you can realistically cover.

On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try by spending the early part of the day 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.
Fish you may run into
The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch for Bass Lake; and that gives me a simple starting point with 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.
How I would break it down
If I wanted to learn Bass Lake without overdoing it, I would start with a simple plan and only add complexity if the fish make me, then I would double-check seasons and limits because the fish list on this page is not the rule book.
