I would keep the first trip pretty simple and I would build the day 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.
Recorded fish species
On the species side, Bass Lake currently has Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch on record; which gives me something real to work with around 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.
My basic approach
If we were fishing Bass Lake together, I would start with obvious fish-holding water and let actual bites tell me whether to stay or move, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
