The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable and I would begin around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.

Species already connected to this water

Fish recorded for Oliver Lakes include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that gives me a simple starting point with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stick with what produces signs of life.

The first trip does not need to be fancy

If I only had one day to learn Oliver Lakes, I would start with a simple plan and only add complexity if the fish make me, and I would not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
