We got out on the water around 130 pm and fished until 7 pm or so. The heat was almost unbearable but catching fish made it worthwhile. We made sure we brought a lot of ice and drinks. The ramp area has lots of shade if you needed to take a lunch or break. Anyways, my wife and little girl also got into the action. We were quite impressed how hard these bass pulled. It was hard to tell what size bass you were going to catch until you reel them closer to the boat. Even then the small ones would make big runs at the boat. Water clarity was about 1- 1.5 ft. and I think most fish were caught in 4-7 ft of water. The lake was covered with moss and hydrilla on the perimeter. I didn’t try to punch the moss cover but I know fish were buried up in it. I tried a deeper part of the lake with no takers. We ended up catching 54 bass plus 1 crappie and harvested 25 bass. The drive from the metroplex was fun and access from the entry gate was quick and easy. I believe this will be a big bass haven in 2-3 years with the right harvest. Thank you PWF and pond owners!
