I would rather learn one piece of this water than rush through ten by checking what is happening around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.
What swims here
Species already recorded for Island Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would make room in the tackle box for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and make the first hour useful instead of random.
A simple way to approach it
For an uncomplicated day on Island Lake, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
