I would rather get two useful clues than make twenty random stops with a little time spent 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.
The current fish list for Second Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye, plus 1 more; which is enough for me to plan around 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.
Before I made the drive to Second Lake, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
