The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable with a little time spent on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the water itself will tell you more than a long list of generic fishing tips.
Species already connected to this water
Fish recorded for Kent Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which is enough for me to plan around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.
The first trip does not need to be fancy
If I only had one day to learn Kent Lake, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, and I would check the current regulations because a lake page and a regulation book do two different jobs.
