Super hot day so I thought I would get out early. I started at 6:30a with some topwaters (Booyah buzzbait, Rapala Skitter Walk, and a Booyah Frog). I threw along the dam and over the grass on the NE side for about 15 minutes each with only 1 swing and a miss. About 7:30 I tried a swim bait, a fluke, and a Bomber A crankbait. Each around the dam and SW side. Got 1 nice bass (2.5 lb) on the Bomber A in Green Pearl Shad color. By 9:00a it is was already 90+ deg. So, I moved to the brushpiles and started fishing the bottom with a football jig, senko, and texas rigged power worm. I got 6 more bass + 1 big catfish (6 lbs) to take the watermelon senko. 5 of the bass were small (probably right @15in) and the other was just over 3lbs. I tried a few different color senko and worms (black and blue, baby bass, motor oil, junebug). But they would only take the watermelon. By noon it was 103 and dead still – so I called it a day.
Pecan Srings is a really great property though. Hard to believe I was just 30 mins from downtown Dallas. I look forward to returning when the weather is a bit better.
