If this were my first time here, I would keep the plan basic with the first real effort focused on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.
The fish data for Douglas Pond includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stick with what produces signs of life.
If the goal were simply to get a feel for Douglas Pond, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, and I would not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
