Reservation Number : 39892
Property Name : JZS Ranch
Reservation Date : 05/17/2024 PM -
Total Fish/Sizes : 2 over 2 lbs, 9 under 2 lbs
Lures Used : crankbaits & chatter baits

Post-front fishing on Boomer & Sooner lakes from 1-5pm, ponds are full and slightly stained from all the rain.  Fished Sooner hard for a little over an hour; no bite (owner later told us there was a big kill-off in this pond last year during the drought).  Pushed our 2-man over the dam into Boomer and caught 11 fish over the next 3 hours, 2 at just over 2 lbs and everything else under that.  Slow going and had to battle submerged junk weed (also from last year’s drought?) that was everywhere in water less than 4 feet deep.  Most action came on craw-colored chatter baits with plastic craw trailers off of points and weed edges closest to deep water.

Great seeing the ponds full and the ranch is a beautiful place.  May try again in the fall when things are settled in a little more.
