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 and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.
Species already connected to this water
The current record for Mallard Slough does not have a solid species list; until the exact-water record improves, i would keep the trip general instead of pretending one target is guaranteed, and before adding more tackle or more stops to the day.
The first trip does not need to be fancy
If I only had one day to learn Mallard Slough, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
