Fish in the current inventory
For Silver Lake, the fish list currently includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and stick with what produces signs of life.
A no-nonsense way to start
If I were taking a friend to Silver 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 not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
