• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. 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. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Scuttle Hole sits 1.2 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the current arrangement for South Greek Lake.
