The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable by checking what is happening around one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break because the easiest way to waste a day is to keep moving without learning anything.

Species already connected to this water

Fish recorded for Mud Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; and I would let that list point me toward weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and avoid chasing a totally different kind of fishing without a reason.

The first trip does not need to be fancy

If I only had one day to learn Mud Lake, I would keep the trip flexible enough to move, but not so restless that I never learn a spot, then I would verify any special water rules before deciding what can go in the cooler.
