On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try by checking what is happening around 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.
Fish you may run into
The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch for Muskie Lake; 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 stay flexible if the water tells me something else.
How I would break it down
If I wanted to learn Muskie Lake without overdoing it, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
