On the map, Big Carr Lake shows up as a lake in Oneida County and its basic numbers come out to about 209 acres and a maximum depth of 75 feet, which is the first thing I would want to know if a buddy asked me about this place.

I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance with my first few stops centered on one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.
Fish recorded in this water
The species record attached to Big Carr Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, and Pumpkinseed, plus 4 more; which gives me a good reason to start with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and make the first hour useful instead of random.
An easy starting plan
For a first trip to Big Carr Lake, I would fish the places that make sense for the species on the list and avoid chasing every rumor I heard online, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
