I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate and I would build the day around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the easiest way to waste a day is to keep moving without learning anything.

What is actually listed here

At Mud Lake, the current fish record includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which gives me something real to work with around weeds and easy cover for panfish and weed lines and baitfish areas for pike or musky, and use the first few bites to narrow the plan.

My first-day plan

If I were starting from scratch on Mud Lake, I would start with obvious fish-holding water and let actual bites tell me whether to stay or move, then I would verify any special water rules before deciding what can go in the cooler.
