I made the annual trek to fish at the spectacular Waco Creek Ranch. I normally make that trek with my best fishing buddy John Bedore but he took ill at the last minute and so I made the trip solo.
As usual the ranch, lake, boats and house were all in top shape! The weather was great and the fishing was as well.
The temps ranged from 48-78 and the breeze was 5-10 mph. The water was clear in the main lake and muddy in the creek arms from recent rains. The water was still 3-4 feet low but the lake was very fishable. I fished for most of the day and caugh a ton of fish mostly in the 3-6 poound range. Chase baits worked early and big lizards and big top waters were the ticket later in the day. As has been the case the last few times red was the key color.
There is a ring of grass around the edge of the lake that make crank baits a bit of a challenge in the shallows. The grass in the creek arms is about 1-3 feet deep making shallow running lures a good choice.
John, get ready for next year,I left them still biting!

Nice report. I am not familiar with Waco Creek and just watched the video and looks like great property and tons of cover around the lake to fish. Even better that the boat comes fully equipped. I need to think about making the trek from the Dallas area And give it a try.
