Reservation Date : 10/08/2018 All Day -
Total Fish/Sizes : Caught 51 bass; of those, we culled 24
Lures Used : Yellow Magic popper, 10 inch worm, small swimbaits

Spent a full day fishing with my guest and good East Texas friend Chase. Chase caught the big fish of the day that went 6.60 lbs on a 10 inch ribbon tail worm. Chase caught the bass late morning on the side opposite from the boat house and about 50 to 60 yards from the dam. I caught 6 bass the first hour on a Yellow Magic popper and then the topwater bite stopped. Chase pours his own swimbaits, and we had our best luck fishing his 4 inch swimbaits in bluegill color rigged weedless about 5 to 10 yards off the bank and generally near grass. We also saw two bucks in the morning as one walked down to the water’s edge to take a drink. Included is a picture of the best fish of the day caught by my guest Chase.  All in all, we had a fun day. This lake appears to be well stocked with many fish in the 14 to 16 inch range.
