I would not try to turn the first trip into a science project with most of my time going to shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.
Right now, the inventory connects Wilderness Lake with Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first fishing plan would include weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stick with what produces signs of life.
Going into a first day on Wilderness Lake, I would use the fish list and the lake's size as a guide, then let current conditions settle the details, and I would not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
