97 degrees, but with a nice cooling breezy. We caught 27 from around 5 pm to 8:30 pm. Largest fish was 4 pounds. Most were 12 to 14 inch fish size and all took the 8 inch green lizard.

Nice lake. The road is a little rough from the gate to the lake making it probably too rough for car access. The boat was suitable. Little moss and plenty of timber with deep, clear water mostly.

This was our first trip to this nearby lake. We plan to return.  It’s probably more of a numbers lake but there seem to be a few good fish in there anyway.

Bryan,

I think your report is a pretty typical report at Lancaster Malouf lake. You well seldom have a trip of a lifetime, but you well seldom have a day where you catch 3 fish. It is a steady producer of fish. Its biggest draw is a large lake that is only 25 miles south of downtown Dallas. A rare find.

Agreed. We are lucky to have this nice of a lake and larger water so close to Dallas. PS, if I catch one 4 pounder, I had a pretty good day anyway….

This private water fishing can spoil a fellow you know as we set our expectations very high compared to the old days of public water fishing!

Good job my friend!
