• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, J H Milligan Estate Lake is 6.3 miles off. The position on Lake Bob Sandlin is worth confirming on the day.
