You will find Silver Lake in Oneida County, where it is classified as a lake and the physical record currently shows about 39 acres and a maximum depth of 16 feet, and those numbers are a useful reality check before you start making a fishing plan.

I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate and I would make the opening plan about shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because good fishing usually gets simpler once one clue starts repeating.
What is actually listed here
At Silver Lake, the current fish record includes 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 stick with what produces signs of life.
My first-day plan
If I were starting from scratch on Silver 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 not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
