November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. It holds true on Lakewood Subdivision Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car.
