The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable and I would start where I can clearly see or understand the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would give the fish a chance to show me whether they want shallow cover or nearby depth.
Fish recorded for Coon Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that makes me think first about weeds and easy cover for panfish, and use the first few bites to narrow the plan.
If I only had one day to learn Coon Lake, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, and I would make a quick regulation check part of the trip plan, not an afterthought at the ramp.
