Property Name : Cody Ranch: Moonshine Lake
Reservation Date : 04/30/2024 All Day -
Total Fish/Sizes : 18 bass 2.5 to 7.8lb, 6 HUGE bluegill
Lures Used : Underspin, chatter bait
Had a good day despite the wind. Fish were hanging in the grass today 4-6ft. One came from the dam shoreline. 1st fish was right at 5lb.
2nd fish- I was tossing underspin. Over grass. Not paying attention (looking at the cows) I heard a splash as lure approached the boat, turned my head to see rod bending. Tightened grip on rod, then the drag was singing. She stayed down for a while. Never saw it until she tired a little. I knew it was a really good fish. She was 7lb 8oz. (Having issues posting pics)
Ended up getting a few close to 5lb. NO culls!
I was loading up the boat and tossed my wacky at a small bass hanging by the launch. Line moved, set hook. Rod bent (light spinning). It was a 3-12! I bet it was going to have a bluegill snack.
Lake full and running into overflow. 71-75 temp. Water stained but could still see down 1.5 ft. Fought the wind and it paid off. Fish in all stages of spawn still.
