I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense and I would start where I can clearly see or understand the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because good fishing usually gets simpler once one clue starts repeating.
What the current record shows
The species currently tied to Silver Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that makes me think first about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stick with what produces signs of life.
How I would fish it
For somebody fishing Silver Lake for the first time, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, and I would not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
