Hello Roadwarrior, nice to meet you at the Grove today! Thanks for the tips and the bait you gave me. I did catch a small bass with it though it wasn't as exciting as watching you catch one while we were chatting. Nice 2.3 pounder on my scale. Didn't believe there were bass there until you caught that one. Only heard stories...

Does anyone know other lakes that are accessible for bank fishing? I’ve been to Halle, Grove, Neshoba and Harvester in Lakeland. I’m open to drive about an hour from Collierville. Bass are what I typically target but any fish by rod is fun.

Thanks WDE. Went to Halle this afternoon and caught about a two pounder on a jig with the bait caster. Fun catching fish with it as it feels more powerful than the spinning setup I have. Still not casting that far. It’s amazing to see others seem to cast a mile. I guess I just need more practice. I’ll be out again Sunday.

Just fished the Grove for the first time today. Almost got skunked but managed to hook the tiniest bream on a small popper. Used a fluke too but only managed a couple of missed fish. What do you all use to catch bass there? I have both a bait caster and light spinning gear. Still learning the baitcaster and can’t seem to manage long casts yet. Relatively new to freshwater fishing so any advice is appreciated.
