If this were my first time here, I would keep the plan basic and I would make sure I actually fish shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.

Species worth planning around

The fish data for Echo Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which tells me to think about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.

A practical first pass

If the goal were simply to get a feel for Echo Lake, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, then I would verify the latest bag, size, and season information before fishing.
