For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever with most of my time going to 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 present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Smith Lake; so the first fishing plan would include weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and make the first hour useful instead of random.
If I were headed to Smith Lake tomorrow, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
