• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Parking within half a mile means no long carry with tackle. Public toilets are recorded roughly half a mile off. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Moyers Lake, 3 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Ask locally about Lake Thomas if anything is unclear.
