My Son and I fished I Pecan Gap Sunday PM for the first time. Echoing the other reports, this lake is perfectly laid out for bass habitat. Easy access, nice road, brand new dock, and concrete launch. What a delightful lake to fish with all of the great structure. I do think the four feeders can make it tough to fool these fish with artificials. It seems the majority are waiting for the feeders to go off, getting stuffed at the bluegill buffet, then napping until the next feeder goes off a few hours later.
We did manage to catch a few, averaging 60-70 casts per bite, we landed 6 fish total. Top 3 were 3.88, 3.63, and 3.56, plus 3 dinks. Two of the fish were caught while dragging a whopper plopper through the feeder frenzy, as we were lucky enough to be within casting range when a couple of the feeders went off. After the frenzy was over in 2-3 minutes, no more bites for a long while, anywhere on the lake.
We did catch one unusual fish (Pics below). It had a grape-sized tumor on its bottom lip, scarring on its back, and a tag attached near its dorsal fin. If anyone is tracking this fish it weighed 3.88 lbs and is 18.5” long and lives near the SW feeder, waiting for the next dinner bell.

I agree Jim. I don't know if a place can have to much forage, but it seem's like it here. I really like the lake and have fished it 3-4 times. Great layout, but every single time has been a grind. Every fish i have caught out of here has been a quality fish, and i bet that there are some big big fish in here. It seems like they maybe got it to easy lol.
