For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever and I would build the day 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.
The fish record for Island Lake needs better exact-water evidence; i would keep the species plan open until a current exact-water source gives us something solid, and and let current conditions sort out the details.
If I were headed to Island Lake tomorrow, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
