Property Name : Post Oak Lake
Reservation Date : 06/21/2025 All Day -
Total Fish/Sizes : 23 / dinks to 3LB
Lures Used : Most effective lures were: T-Rig curly tail worm, spinnerbait, and Ned rig
We fished Post Oak Saturday under sunny to partly cloudy skies and a significant southerly wind. Well, we've all had these trips – but as soon as I realized that my trolling motor was dead as soon as I connected it, I knew it was going to an uphill battle. And it was not the battery as I brought along a spare. Anyway using the property’s large and listing pontoon boat with only a paddle and a strong wind was the task. We managed to fish the W/NW shoreline from the launch to the bridge and into the small pond before giving up on it. OH, and Pam took a treble hook in the thumb. I was able to push it through the side of her thumb and cut off the barb. She still caught the best fish of the day after all that. We still landed 23 up to 3LB. Most effective lures were: T-Rig curly tail worm, spinnerbait, and Ned rig. Like Brad’s Ozempic comment in his Pecan Springs report, these fish were skinny and the harvesters were empty bellied. Maybe just a seasonal thing. Overall another enjoyable adventure with PWF.

Mark,
Moving that particular boat with just a paddle is quite a challenge (been there, done that with a mid-trip dead battery) but adding in the wind makes that nearly a superhero task. My complements to both of you.
I fished after you on Monday and also noted the listing pontoon boat and the skinny bass.
