I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits 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.
The fish list
The fish currently listed for Eugene Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and I would let that list point me toward weeds and easy cover for panfish, and give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.
What I would try before anything fancy
If this were my day on Eugene Lake, I would use the fish list and the lake's size as a guide, then let current conditions settle the details, and I would check the current regulations because a lake page and a regulation book do two different jobs.
