I would make the first trip about learning the water, not conquering it and I would make sure I actually fish the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would pay more attention to where the first bite comes from than what lure caught it.

What you can fish for

For this exact water, the recorded fish are Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which tells me to think about 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.

Keeping the first trip simple

If a buddy asked me how to start on Chicken Crop Lake, I would make a short plan, fish it honestly, and change areas only when the water gives me a reason, and I would check the current regulations before keeping anything.
