I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense 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.
What the current record shows
The species currently tied to Little Presque Isle Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and I would let that list point me toward 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.
How I would fish it
For somebody fishing Little Presque Isle Lake for the first time, I would keep the trip flexible enough to move, but not so restless that I never learn a spot, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
