I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate with a simple look at one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.
What is actually listed here
At Lower Clam Lake, the current fish record includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.
My first-day plan
If I were starting from scratch on Lower Clam Lake, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, then I would verify the latest bag, size, and season information before fishing.
