• Tackle & Baits

For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. For a change of water, Lake Sharon is 0.3 miles distant. Ask locally about East Lake Ellis if anything is unclear.
