The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable and I would build the day around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because good fishing usually gets simpler once one clue starts repeating.
Species already connected to this water
Fish recorded for Long Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stick with what produces signs of life.
The first trip does not need to be fancy
If I only had one day to learn Long Lake, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, and I would not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
