I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance by putting the first hour into 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 recorded in this water

The species record attached to Horseshoe Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that makes me think first about weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid turning a simple trip into a gear-hauling contest.

An easy starting plan

For a first trip to Horseshoe Lake, I would make every move change one big thing, like depth or cover, instead of just driving to another pretty spot, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
