I would keep the first trip pretty simple by checking what is happening around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.
On the species side, Smith Lake currently has Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch on record; so I would make room in the tackle box for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and make the first hour useful instead of random.
If we were fishing Smith Lake together, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
