For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever with the first real effort focused on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would pay more attention to where the first bite comes from than what lure caught it.
Fish tied to this lake
The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Chelsea Lake; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and leave room to adjust if the first idea is wrong.
How I would keep it simple
If I were headed to Chelsea Lake tomorrow, I would bring a couple of dependable baits, fish the best-looking water I can reach, and pay attention to what the first few bites have in common, and I would check the current regulations before keeping anything.
