I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense by checking what is happening around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I spent the rest of the day chasing somebody else's old fishing report.
What the current record shows
The species currently tied to Mud Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and I would let that list point me toward weeds and easy cover for panfish, and let current conditions settle the details.
How I would fish it
For somebody fishing Mud Lake for the first time, I would keep the trip flexible enough to move, but not so restless that I never learn a spot, then I would confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
