• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Boat Ramp gives a made launch, 160 yards off. There is somewhere to leave the car, half a mile off. There is a jetty half a mile off, worth knowing on a busy day. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Failing this one, try Lake Gerald, 3.7 miles away. None of that is settled for Little Ketchepedrakee Creek in what we hold.
