I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense with a little time spent 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.
The species currently tied to Bean Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which is enough for me to plan around weeds and easy cover for panfish, and find out which part of the species list is actually active that day.
For somebody fishing Bean Lake for the first time, 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.
