The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable with a little time spent on one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and I would pay more attention to where the first bite comes from than what lure caught it.
Fish recorded for Lake Thompson include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye, plus 1 more; which is enough for me to plan around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep the first trip from getting too complicated.
If I only had one day to learn Lake Thompson, 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 before keeping anything.
