I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense and I would start where I can clearly see or understand shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.
The species currently tied to Island Lake include Largemouth Bass, and Northern Pike; and that makes me think first about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weed lines and baitfish areas for pike or musky, and make the first hour useful instead of random.
For somebody fishing Island Lake for the first time, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
