I would let the first few spots tell me what kind of day it is going to be by spending the early part of the day on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would give the fish a chance to show me whether they want shallow cover or nearby depth.
For fishing, the current record for Mud Lake shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds and easy cover for panfish, and let current conditions settle the details.
If I were putting together a simple plan for Mud Lake, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, then I would confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
