I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits by making an honest pass along shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.
The fish currently listed for Murphy Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and stay flexible if the water tells me something else.
If this were my day on Murphy Lake, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
