On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try by checking what is happening around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.
Fish you may run into
The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch for Horseshoe Lake; so I would make room in the tackle box for 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 break it down
If I wanted to learn Horseshoe Lake without overdoing it, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
