I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits by checking the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before changing five things at once and losing track of what actually mattered.
The fish list
The fish currently listed for Muskrat Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and I would let that list point me toward weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stay flexible if the water tells me something else.
What I would try before anything fancy
If this were my day on Muskrat Lake, I would use the fish list and the lake's size as a guide, then let current conditions settle the details, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
