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 because good fishing usually gets simpler once one clue starts repeating.
The fish list
The fish currently listed for Horseshoe Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and I would let that list point me toward 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.
What I would try before anything fancy
If this were my day on Horseshoe Lake, I would use the fish list and the lake's size as a guide, then let current conditions settle the details, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
