• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. You can leave the car about half a mile from the water. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Browns Lake, 1.3 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position on Ten Acre Lake before loading the car.
