Good morning anglers.

I am planning and heading up to the tar river reservoir in the nextweek or so. I have never been there so could somebody give me an idea of where a boat ramp is, preferably a wildlife ramp. Also any idea of if the largemouth are bitting and if there are on the banks or have they gone deep?

Ramp off Bend of the River road is nice but pretty shallow at the ramp area- lots of rip rap and docks to fish around. I'm sure the bass are deep by now.

Thanks. How shallow is it? I have a flat bottom alumacraft. I don't need a whole lot of water to float.

Here is a link to a depth map you can click on to enlarge. Be careful if you go upstream of the low bridge, the channel is narrow and the water gets very skinny in spots with lots of logs and such. I don't fish much for bass so I'm not much help with that part.

My home water officially now. Theres a ramp at old carriage road as well that gets way more use by the bass guys. Theres grass everywhere and i see people fishing the edges with spinner baits a lot. Im also not a huge bass guy but do it every once in a while. There are also a few shoals worth hitting.
