I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense with a little time spent on 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.
The species currently tied to Smith Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which is enough for me to plan around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and make the first hour useful instead of random.
For somebody fishing Smith Lake for the first time, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
