I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance by checking what is happening around 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.
The species record attached to Kern Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so I would make room in the tackle box for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.
For a first trip to Kern Lake, I would keep the trip flexible enough to move, but not so restless that I never learn a spot, and I would check the current regulations because a lake page and a regulation book do two different jobs.
