On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try by checking the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.
Fish you may run into
The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch for Rush Lake; and I would let that list point me toward weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid chasing a totally different kind of fishing without a reason.
How I would break it down
If I wanted to learn Rush Lake without overdoing it, I would keep the trip flexible enough to move, but not so restless that I never learn a spot, then I would verify any special water rules before deciding what can go in the cooler.
