I would keep the first trip pretty simple 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 because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.
Recorded fish species
On the species side, Deep Lake currently has Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch on record; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and find out which part of the species list is actually active that day.
My basic approach
If we were fishing Deep Lake together, I would fish the places that make sense for the species on the list and avoid chasing every rumor I heard online, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
