Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. If the gate is shut, Thompson Pond at 0.6 miles is the nearest alternative. Signs at Well Pond carry more weight than any list.
