Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Geddes Lake at 0.5 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the position at Lake Mirage before loading the car.
