• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Bonnet Pond, 0.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. None of that is settled for Pump Pond in what we hold.
