I would rather fish a handful of good-looking spots well by spending the early part of the day on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I started digging through the tackle box for a magic answer.
The fish tied to this exact Big Lake record include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that gives me a simple starting point with 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 wanted the first trip to Big Lake to actually teach me something, I would start with a simple plan and only add complexity if the fish make me, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
