• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. South Atikaki Provincial Park covers ground next to the water; its rules will apply on that side. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Should this one be busy, Wallace Lake is 2.8 km off. Check the position at Twin Bays before loading the car.
