The first trip does not need a giant tackle plan and I would begin around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.
Recorded species at Deer Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which keeps me focused on weeds and easy cover for panfish, and find out which part of the species list is actually active that day.
If I had a few hours to figure out Deer Lake, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
