The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable by putting the first hour into 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 current record for Deer Lake does not have a solid species list; i would rather leave that blank than send somebody out after a fish that may not be there, and and use the first few bites to narrow things down.
If I only had one day to learn Deer Lake, I would make every move change one big thing, like depth or cover, instead of just driving to another pretty spot, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
