I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance and I would start where I can clearly see or understand one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.
The species record attached to Slim Lake includes 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 make the first hour useful instead of random.
For a first trip to Slim Lake, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
