I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits with a little time spent on a few easy-to-read spots that give me different depths or kinds of cover because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.
The fish list
I would not plan around one specific fish at North and South Turtle Lakes 25 from the current record alone; i would rather leave that blank than send somebody out after a fish that may not be there, and and use the first few bites to narrow things down.
What I would try before anything fancy
If this were my day on North and South Turtle Lakes 25, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
