I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more by checking what is happening around 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.
The water-specific species list for Deer Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would make room in the tackle box for 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.
For the opening trip to Deer Lake, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
