I would rather learn one piece of this water than rush through ten by putting the first hour into shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.
What swims here
Species already recorded for Duck Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that makes me think first about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and make the first hour useful instead of random.
A simple way to approach it
For an uncomplicated day on Duck Lake, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
