I would rather fish a handful of good-looking spots well by checking what is happening around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.
The fish tied to this exact Little Portage Lake record include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would make room in the tackle box for 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.
If I wanted the first trip to Little Portage Lake to actually teach me something, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
