I would make the first trip about learning the water, not conquering it with a short rotation through a few easy-to-read spots that give me different depths or kinds of cover because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.
What you can fish for
At the moment, Watersmeet Lake 533 does not have enough species data for a trustworthy fishing list; that may be less exciting, but it is a lot more useful than bad information, and before i start changing directions every ten minutes.
Keeping the first trip simple
If a buddy asked me how to start on Watersmeet Lake 533, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
