The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable with most of my time going to the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the water itself will tell you more than a long list of generic fishing tips.
Species already connected to this water
Fish recorded for Perch Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which keeps me focused on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and remember that a species list does not tell you exactly where the fish are.
The first trip does not need to be fancy
If I only had one day to learn Perch Lake, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, then I would verify the latest bag, size, and season information before fishing.
