For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever by making an honest pass along shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.
The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Big Brook Lake; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and make the first hour useful instead of random.
If I were headed to Big Brook Lake tomorrow, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
