• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. You can leave the car about half a mile from the water. A pier half a mile from here gives a platform over deeper water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Town Resaca is 1.7 miles distant. None of that is settled for Fort Brown Resaca in what we hold.
