• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. There is somewhere to leave the car, half a mile off. There are toilets 0.9 miles off. The water borders Bayberry Farms Tract, so reserve rules are likely to apply. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Kelley Pond sits 0.6 miles off and takes the overflow.
