• Tackle & Baits

For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Lukeward Lake, 0.5 km out. For Struthers Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
