• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. A carry of 0.9 miles from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. If the gate is shut, Ayers Lake at 1.9 miles is the nearest alternative. Confirm access to Freeport Kaolin Lake locally before you travel.
