I would not try to turn the first trip into a science project by spending the early part of the day on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.
The current inventory does not give me enough exact-water fish data for Deer Lake; if you are going specifically for one fish, confirm it before you make the drive, and and use the first few bites to narrow things down.
Going into a first day on Deer Lake, I would start with a simple plan and only add complexity if the fish make me, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
