I ust to fish that place alot I am in the local tournament team Golija maybe you have heard of it but anyways here is what you need to use:

1. ZOOM Black Trick Worms

2. Lake Fork Live Magic Shad White

3. ZOOM Curly Tail Tequlia Sunrise

you can fish these baits wheightless or weighted just throw it out there and fish it on the bottom. I am normally fishing Huthinson mill pond (membership only $400 a year) but fish banks sometime maybe we will see each other hope this helped

Next time I go I will be fishing frogs I think you should try em out but there is world record bass in Banks according to a test that was done (the shocked em and weighed em) But fishing is not great but its good when you know what your doing.

lol yea I was fishing a frog  and I wasnt paying attention and a small gator grabbed and ran lol

I fished that lake a few times when I lived in Valdosta in the mid 1990's.  Caught some nice bass there pitching to the cypress trees.  I think I was using a red colored ribbon tail worm back then.   I would be nervous being in that lake with a kayak due to the other wildlife. 

    Also, if I remember correctly, Burt Renolds made a movie called 'Gator' there in the 70's.  Kind of a Smokey and the Bandit type flick with boats. 

I thought about the critters out there and figured if the state thought it was too dangerous they wouldnt rent kayaks to the public. Plus Ive been out the multiple times now and all the gators do is run from you, atleast the big smart ones anyway.
