The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable and I would start where I can clearly see or understand the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.
Species already connected to this water
Fish recorded for Little Pine Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that makes me think first about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and find out which part of the species list is actually active that day.
The first trip does not need to be fancy
If I only had one day to learn Little Pine Lake, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
