If this were my first time here, I would keep the plan basic with a little time spent on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.
Fish species are not reliably filled in for Smear Lake yet; i would rather leave that blank than send somebody out after a fish that may not be there, and before i start chasing random reports.
If the goal were simply to get a feel for Smear Lake, I would make every move change one big thing, like depth or cover, instead of just driving to another pretty spot, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
