I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate by checking the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.
At Bear Lake, the current fish record includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and I would let that list point me toward 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.
If I were starting from scratch on Bear Lake, I would keep the trip flexible enough to move, but not so restless that I never learn a spot, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
