Reservation Number : 24849
Property Name : Gallant Elm Creek Ranch
Reservation Date : 06/11/2020 AM -
Total Fish/Sizes : 16/1-2.5 lbs
Lures Used : Active
Active at Medina – Gallant Elms
Fished Gallant Elms the morning of June 11, from 7AM until noon.
Caught a total of 15 (culled 9). Most of the others were in the 14” range.
All were aggressive hits and one I tracked hitting from about 4 ft away.
The fish were looking for active presentations so I was successful using:
Top-water frog (first 30 minutes)
Weighted Senko with spinner “tail”
Chatter bait
Shallow-running rank (along first drop-off from bank) : most productive presentation
Deep-running crank bait (along deeper drop-offs)
As these presentations were working, I only tried these unsuccessfully:
Paddle-tail soft plastic
Conditions:
Air temp (55 to 85 degrees)
Wind: mostly calm
Sky: blue bird
Water temp: 81
Clarity: 5ft
The end opposite the dam was completely covered with aquatic growth and I did not even try to enter
