Marshall Lake sits in Vilas County and is listed as a lake with the available water data listing about 90 acres and a maximum depth of 17 feet, and that is a much better place to start than pretending every lake fishes the same.

On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try and I would start where I can clearly see or understand shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before making the day harder than it needs to be.
Fish you may run into
The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch for Marshall Lake; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.
How I would break it down
If I wanted to learn Marshall Lake without overdoing it, I would fish the places that make sense for the species on the list and avoid chasing every rumor I heard online, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
