Reservation Number : 38514
Property Name : Hat and Star Ranch
Reservation Date : 02/13/2024 All Day -
Total Fish/Sizes : Lots, one 9.5, another 9 and lots over 5
Lures Used : Damiki rig, Alabama rig, Hair jig

Got out there around 10am, the baitfish were already pushed up on the windy banks.  We started by chasing around suspended fish but they were very tricky and would not eat, insteac only chase my Damiki Rig.

We then started throwing Alabama rigs and offshore hair jigs very slow along the bottom and caught two over 9 (PB of 9.5 for my fishing partner) and a handful over 5.

After around noon, the fish really started to get active up shallow where we caught some that were pushing bait up against the bank.  The suspended fish also started to act more aggressive at that time, so we got a few more around 5 pounds out there.

Definitely one of the most healthy properties I’ve seen, can’t wait to be back!

I believe the cameras were rolling, should be some great footage!  I think they may be editing it next week, I’ll keep an eye out for it and add the YT video to this report once it is up.

I just added the video from Tyler for his trip, some great fish and catch footage!  Also, some very interesting discussion on how he uses and learns from LiveScope, esp in the winter.

Great day Tyler ! Incredible bag – love to see the use of a Hair Jig.  That's something I recently added to my portfolio, but not sure how to utilize just yet. I see you worked it off bottom for that massive hook up.

Watch your channel on the reg – would love to meet and catch some with you one day – btw – I'm impressed you wear your ring on the water, I'd definitely sling mine into the drink casting, no doubt.

Gig’em !
