I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense with a short rotation through one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break 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 Nicaboyne Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which tells me to think about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep one good idea at a time instead of changing everything.
How I would fish it
For somebody fishing Nicaboyne Lake for the first time, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
