Carr Lake is a lake in Concordia Parish, so I would spend more time casting than relocating, and I would rather fish one reachable area before widening the search. On a first trip, I would start with one easy-to-read piece of water and stay there long enough to learn something, because a first trip should give you a useful clue rather than a tour of every corner.
Carr Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Exact physical measurements are sparse for Carr Lake, which is why I would avoid building the day around an estimate. A better first step is checking the scale before choosing a pattern, since the first visit can answer the practical questions that a missing measurement cannot.
Fishing This Water
Carr Lake does not have a strong exact-water species record to build a detailed target list around, which makes it smarter to treat the first outing as a chance to identify the main targets. I would use a light spinning setup with a jig, a spinner, and a bait rig, because a flexible setup makes more sense than showing up committed to the wrong species.
A Practical Carr Lake Game Plan
For Carr Lake, I would spend the opening part of the trip around one sheltered part of the water and avoid constant relocation; the best outcome from a first trip is one or two clues that make the next visit easier.
