On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try and I would make the opening plan about 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.

Fish you may run into

The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch for Bean Lake; which is enough for me to plan around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and find out which part of the species list is actually active that day.

How I would break it down

If I wanted to learn Bean Lake without overdoing it, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
