• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Public data has parking about 120 yards from the shore. Public data records a pier about half a mile out. A rest area sits about half a mile from the water. Toilets show in mapping about half a mile away. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Spot 10 at 2.6 miles is the sensible second choice. Rules at this water are worth checking on the day.
