Reservation Number : 29358
Property Name : Nix Ranch: Lake TCU
Reservation Date : 08/01/2021 All Day -
Total Fish/Sizes : 50+, most 2-4 lbs, 5 culls
Lures Used : Frog, wacky, fluke, chatterbait, TR trick worm
Fished with member Glen Armstrong and we caught 50 at least (lost count) before noon. Most fish were around the islands and on the east shore (tight to the shoreline). Frogs productive early (10-12 fish), then flukes, wacky, and chatterbait once the topwater action subsided. White was the most productive color.
After a midmorning break (about 10), the bite slowed and we worked the hot spots from earlier in the day (islands and east shore). Before the break, Glen broke off his line with magnum baby bass fluke. He retied at the break.
While chugging to the smallest island with my TR white trick worm trailing the boat 5-6 feet behind, I would have sworn the line got snagged by the trolling motor. I grabbed the rod on my lap as a looked and a 3-4 lb bass had hit the trick worm on top of the water. "Wow", I thought and probably said, these fish are really turned on. While removing the trick worm hook, I found Glen's lost magnum fluke embedded with it's hook in the fish's throat. Both hooks removed successfully and the fish was returned healthy after eating two lures, two hours apart, neither of which was presented in an angling maneuver. Gotta love dumb fish!!
Had a blast fishing with Glen on our first trip together. I lost count of our doubles at about 6 or 7 throughout the morning.
Dub came and said hi. What a great land owner!!
Another quality day provided by PWF. Thanks to all!!

If someone asked me – where would you take a client to catch fish guaranteed, it would be TCU – good fish, aggressive – glad you had an awesome day!
