• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Gressett Lake at 8.8 miles is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Sherman Country Club Lake in what we hold.
