I would keep the first trip pretty simple by putting the first hour into the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.
Recorded fish species
On the species side, Spies Lake currently has Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch on record; and that makes me think first about weeds and easy cover for panfish, and remember that a species list does not tell you exactly where the fish are.
My basic approach
If we were fishing Spies Lake together, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, then I would verify the latest bag, size, and season information before fishing.
