• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Blalock Lake Number Two at 0.9 miles is the sensible second choice. Confirm before you fish Ambrose Lake.
