I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense by giving the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach more than a couple of throwaway casts because the easiest way to waste a day is to keep moving without learning anything.
What the current record shows
The species currently tied to Harriet Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and use the first few bites to narrow the plan.
How I would fish it
For somebody fishing Harriet Lake for the first time, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, then I would verify any special water rules before deciding what can go in the cooler.
