Reservation Number : 36841
Property Name : JZS Ranch
Reservation Date : 07/03/2023 AM -
Total Fish/Sizes : 30 to 1 lb, 5 to 2 lbs, 1 at 2.6 lbs
Lures Used : Few off spinner baits. All the rest off plastic worms. Zero fish off of crank baits and top water.

Guest and I broke out the kayaks and fished from sunrise to noon at the JZS Ranch near Okmulgee OK.  Winds were light and temp near 70 degrees at dawn but quickly hit 93 degrees by noon.  Water clarity was great.  Some subsurface weeds in shallow spots but overall not bad.  No bites until around 8:00 a.m. and then steady the rest of the morning.  Most fish caught near the bank around stickups and around points.  Some fish caught in the middle of the pond as well.  The fish were aggressive when biting.  Nothing big caught, but a lot of fun for a hot July morning in Oklahoma.  Will definitely be back once summer and temps starts to wane.

There are 4 ponds on the property.  We only fished the two larger ponds.  All the fish were caught on south large pond.  No bites on the north large pond.

Take care.
