The first trip does not need a giant tackle plan and I would make the opening plan about shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the water itself will tell you more than a long list of generic fishing tips.
Recorded species at Spring Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, 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 give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.
If I had a few hours to figure out Spring Lake, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, and I would check the current regulations because a lake page and a regulation book do two different jobs.
