I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense and I would make the opening plan about the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.
The species currently tied to Secret Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would make room in the tackle box for weeds and easy cover for panfish, and find out which part of the species list is actually active that day.
For somebody fishing Secret Lake for the first time, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
