I would make the first trip about learning the water, not conquering it by putting the first hour into 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, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that makes me think first about weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the first trip from getting too complicated.
Keeping the first trip simple
If a buddy asked me how to start on Chub Lake, I would make every move change one big thing, like depth or cover, instead of just driving to another pretty spot, and I would check the current regulations before keeping anything.
