Muck Lake is a lake on the Bayfield County map and its basic numbers come out to about 6 acres and a maximum depth of 26 feet, so the size of the job is pretty easy to understand before you go.

I would not try to turn the first trip into a science project 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 before I spent the rest of the day chasing somebody else's old fishing report.
The current species list
Right now, the inventory connects Muck Lake with Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds and easy cover for panfish, and let current conditions settle the details.
How I would learn the lake
Going into a first day on Muck Lake, 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 confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
