Location
Brantley Lake State Park is located near Artesia, Carlsbad
One of the Rangers told us it was flooded and not much access for bank fishing. My wife Irma and I caught 6 largemouth in about 45 minutes. That was great!
August 25Great time for boating
The lake is near full capacity and we are due for more rain so the lake is very good for boating.
