• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. The nearest mapped parking is half a mile away, so the last stretch is on foot. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, East Lake at 0.5 miles is the nearest alternative. Treat access at Home Lake as something to verify.
