I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance and I would begin around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I started digging through the tackle box for a magic answer.
The species record attached to Smith Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which keeps me focused on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and make the first hour useful instead of random.
For a first trip to Smith Lake, I would start with a simple plan and only add complexity if the fish make me, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
