If this were my first time here, I would keep the plan basic and I would make the opening plan about one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and I would pay more attention to where the first bite comes from than what lure caught it.

Species worth planning around

The fish data for Grand Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which is enough for me to plan around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep the first trip from getting too complicated.

A practical first pass

If the goal were simply to get a feel for Grand Lake, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, and I would check the current regulations before keeping anything.
