• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. There are picnic tables recorded roughly half a mile off. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lake Ann, 0.4 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position on Lake Seminole before loading the car.
