• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Mapping shows parking within half a mile. A jetty or pier is mapped about half a mile from here. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Some banks are open only from a marked point. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. J Pool at 0.6 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat H Pool as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
