I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance by spending the early part of the day on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.
The current Dead Horse Slough record does not give us a fish list I would treat as complete; if you are going specifically for one fish, confirm it before you make the drive, and before i start changing directions every ten minutes.
For a first trip to Dead Horse Slough, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, then I would double-check seasons and limits because the fish list on this page is not the rule book.
