I would rather fish a handful of good-looking spots well with my first few stops centered on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the easiest way to waste a day is to keep moving without learning anything.
The fish tied to this exact Cranberry Lake record include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which gives me a good reason to start with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid chasing a totally different kind of fishing without a reason.
If I wanted the first trip to Cranberry Lake to actually teach me something, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, then I would verify any special water rules before deciding what can go in the cooler.
