I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense 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.
What the current record shows
The species currently tied to Eleanore Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would build the first part of the day around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and remember that a species list does not tell you exactly where the fish are.
How I would fish it
For somebody fishing Eleanore Lake for the first time, I would make every move change one big thing, like depth or cover, instead of just driving to another pretty spot, then I would verify the latest bag, size, and season information before fishing.
