O'Brien Lake is a lake on the Iron County map and the best numbers we have right now are about 76 acres and a maximum depth of 12 feet, so you can plan the trip around the water that is really there, not the lake you imagined.

I would not try to turn the first trip into a science project with a short rotation through shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because good fishing usually gets simpler once one clue starts repeating.
The current species list
Right now, the inventory connects O'Brien Lake with Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would pack with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid turning a simple trip into a gear-hauling contest.
How I would learn the lake
Going into a first day on O'Brien Lake, I would choose a few spots that look different from one another and give each one a fair chance, and I would not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
