I would rather fish a handful of good-looking spots well and I would make sure I actually fish shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.
The fish tied to this exact Hilts Lake record include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which tells me to think about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep one good idea at a time instead of changing everything.
If I wanted the first trip to Hilts Lake to actually teach me something, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
