On the map, Marinuka Lake shows up as a reservoir in Trempealeau County and the published measurements are about 117 acres and a maximum depth of 9 feet, so there is no need to dress the lake up with a bunch of made-up detail.

I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance with the first real effort focused on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before making the day harder than it needs to be.
Fish recorded in this water
The species record attached to Marinuka Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Walleye, plus 1 more; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep the day practical and easy to change.
An easy starting plan
For a first trip to Marinuka Lake, I would bring a couple of dependable baits, fish the best-looking water I can reach, and pay attention to what the first few bites have in common, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
