I would keep the first trip pretty simple with the first real effort focused on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.
On the species side, Boot Lake currently has Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch on record; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.
If we were fishing Boot Lake together, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, and I would check the current regulations because a lake page and a regulation book do two different jobs.
