• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Estes Lake, 1.9 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing here settles the position at Jones Millpond for certain.
