The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable by making an honest pass along one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and I would give the fish a chance to show me whether they want shallow cover or nearby depth.
Fish recorded for Rooney Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which gives me a good reason to start with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and use the first few bites to narrow the plan.
If I only had one day to learn Rooney Lake, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, and I would make a quick regulation check part of the trip plan, not an afterthought at the ramp.
