I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense and I would make the opening plan about 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.
What the current record shows
The species currently tied to Muskie Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; 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 fish it
For somebody fishing Muskie Lake for the first time, 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.
