Start with a short rotation through accessible bank cover, vegetation, and nearby deeper water. Give each spot a few deliberate casts before moving on.
Fish in the current inventory
For Mud Lake, the fish list currently includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so I would make room in the tackle box for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and use the first few bites to narrow the plan.
A no-nonsense way to start
If I were taking a friend to Mud Lake, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, and I would make a quick regulation check part of the trip plan, not an afterthought at the ramp.
