For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. If the gate is shut, Redding Lake at 1.2 miles is the nearest alternative. Signs at Cedar Grove Lake carry more weight than any list.
