Hi there mate , i cant help you re the lake i'm afraid but i have a tiny suggestion for you ?
Whatever you find out about the venue make sure you find out whether it responds to big beds of bait in winter .
On a new unfamiliar venue i would be very wary of planning a baiting strategy such as you have aired in your post , especially this time of year when a lot of known cold water venues respond well to single hookbaits or similar .
Hope you get the info you require and best of luck
