For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever and I would start where I can clearly see or understand one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.

Fish tied to this lake

The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Horsehead Lake; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid turning a simple trip into a gear-hauling contest.

How I would keep it simple

If I were headed to Horsehead Lake tomorrow, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
