The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable with a little time spent on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because good fishing usually gets simpler once one clue starts repeating.
Fish recorded for Benedict Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which is enough for me to plan around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stick with what produces signs of life.
If I only had one day to learn Benedict Lake, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, and I would not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
