I would rather learn one piece of this water than rush through ten with my first few stops centered on 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.
What swims here
Species already recorded for Bass Lakes include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Smallmouth Bass, plus 1 more; which gives me a good reason to start with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and find out which part of the species list is actually active that day.
A simple way to approach it
For an uncomplicated day on Bass Lakes, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
