Has anyone heard of the strip pits out by the shooting complex being reopened to the public? Heard a few rumors and I am trying to find out some info. If anyone knows anything, or where I might find some answers, it would be a big help. Thanks.

I can't believe that with all the camping facilities there, that fishing wouldn't be allowed. At least to those camping out there.

where are these strip pits located? I heard the ticks are really bad around strip pits also.....is it even possible to fish from shore or no?

The pits this thread is referring to are the ones out at The World Shooting Complex near Sparta/Marissa.

Ticks will be bad here real soon. Learn to keep a can of spray in your truck at all times, and do a thorough check after each outing.

I HATE those little blood sucking arachnids.
