The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable with my first few stops centered on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.
Species already connected to this water
Fish recorded for Sea Lion Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and find out which part of the species list is actually active that day.
The first trip does not need to be fancy
If I only had one day to learn Sea Lion Lake, I would fish the places that make sense for the species on the list and avoid chasing every rumor I heard online, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
