About this spot

1 / 4

Experience

The fishing spot offers a family-friendly, scenic environment with amenities like parking, picnic areas, and trails, ensuring accessibility for most visitors, including wheelchair users.

Though bank fishing areas are limited, the peaceful environment can make for a pleasant experience.
Tips

Fishing from limited bank areas requires strategic positioning and security of gear when launching kayaks. While Bass is small, it's abundant and using bait like shakey head worms and creature bait can increase success. Focus on shaded areas to improve catch rates, while being mindful of challenging water conditions and turtles that might affect productivity.
