The first trip does not need a giant tackle plan by checking the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.
Recorded species at Etter Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and I would let that list point me toward weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.
If I had a few hours to figure out Etter Lake, I would keep the trip flexible enough to move, but not so restless that I never learn a spot, and I would check the current regulations because a lake page and a regulation book do two different jobs.
