A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Wolf Lake sits 1 mile off and takes the overflow. For Jimmy Pond, the notice at the access point is the final word.
