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.
