On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try by making an honest pass along shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because good fishing usually gets simpler once one clue starts repeating.
Fish you may run into
The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, and Yellow Perch for Oak Ridge Lake; 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.
How I would break it down
If I wanted to learn Oak Ridge Lake without overdoing it, 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.
