• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. The slipway at Woodlake Public Boat Ramp is half a mile away. A pier 110 yards from here gives a platform over deeper water. Overnight stays are possible half a mile away. For the carp, bait a margin spot and sit on it; corn and bread still work. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Renfro Lake, 7.7 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat access at Bone Bluff Lake as something to verify.
