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. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. If the gate is shut, Wallworth Lake at 4.8 miles is the nearest alternative. Ask locally about Strawbridge Lake if anything is unclear.
