Reservation Number : 36784
Property Name : Harrison Ranch
Reservation Date : 08/19/2023 All Day -
Total Fish/Sizes : 45 bass caught and released- Most in the 14-16" range. Big fish was 19 3/4" with a larger one that got away.
Lures Used : Top Water / Texas Rigged Creatures & Worms / Swim Baits

Water temp in the AM was 84 degrees which rose to 89 degrees.  Outside air temp was 105.  Water level was down 6-8 feet which made it messy lauching the Bass Cat and Kayak into the lake.

45 largemouth bass caught over a 7 hour period.  Could not handle the heat after 2PM or we would of caught more. 

The fish were active and we caught them on various techniques, not one better than the other.  The bass were holding tight to the cover, but not afraid to come out and smash your lure.

There were a few under nourshed fish that were caught as well.  Overall, the bass fought hard and when they attacked your lure, they enhaled it.  

It was a great time and enjoyed Harrison Ranch!  Looking for bigger ;)
