Reservation Number : 38527
Property Name : Hat and Star Ranch
Reservation Date : 02/20/2024 All Day - 02/21/2024 PM
Total Fish/Sizes : 41 up to 9.22
Lures Used : A-Rig, Swimbait, juggle minnow

I spent a day and a half fishing with my son at H&S. This was by far my best trip of bass fishing ever. I caught my new PB at 9.22. My son caught his new PB at 7.03. We caught 16 bass over 5 lbs. This lake is full of big fish. 
 

Best 5-

9.22, 9.08, 8.22, 7.51, 7.14
 

The lake is in great shape as usual. Plenty of threadfin shad and the bluegill population is crazy. We caught several on our smaller swimbaits as well as 5 huge crappie. Clarity is probably 3-4’ and water temp was between 54-58. Most of my fish came on the A Rig in 12-20 FOW. I didn't see any fish moving up yet.

Big shout out to Robby for allowing us to fish his lake and also to Bill for all he does for the ranch. This is by far the best lake in the club in my opinion. (And it's not even close)

I will be back for my DD. Getting closer
