I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more by making an honest pass along one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break before I started digging through the tackle box for a magic answer.
The water-specific species list for Eagle Spring Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.
For the opening trip to Eagle Spring Lake, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
