Horseshoe Lake is a lake in Louisiana, near Madison County.
Anglers looking at Madison Parish will find Horseshoe Lake, a lake, which makes it sensible to start close and learn the immediate water first, which is why I would keep the first plan small and easy to judge. I would give one straightforward shoreline stretch a fair chance before making a bigger move, because that keeps the day simple while the water is still unfamiliar.
Horseshoe Lake does not have a dependable set of published acreage, depth, and volume measurements, and that is a reason to let the actual shoreline set the scope of the trip, so the safer move is to leave the missing number alone until a reliable source turns up. I would start by watching the water level on the first visit, because I would plan modestly until the size of the water is clear.
Public fish information for Horseshoe Lake is limited enough that a species list should not be guessed, and I would rather keep the tackle broad enough to learn what bites, so the practical choice is to use a versatile setup instead of guessing at a target species. I would carry one light rod with a few soft plastics and live bait, because one good bite is enough to start turning unknown water into familiar water.
If I were seeing Horseshoe Lake for the first time, I would work one easy-to-read short stretch with only a few dependable baits; if the first area is quiet, I would change one thing at a time so I know whether the adjustment helped.
