Water clear, air temp 98, 5-10 mph.  Topwater bite was very good at 6AM.  Hated to leave the launch area, where we caught several 2-pounders.  Barry Janssen stole the show with best 5 bass totalling 16.1.  My best 5 were 13.12.  Barry caught a couple of the biggest 4.6 and 4.4 lbs.  Texas-rigged brush hogs, Senko’s and horny toads (watermelon red) were baits of choice.  We had a slight mishap—flat tire on our jonboat trailer.  But the 9G Ranch foreman (Juan) hurried to our rescue and we were able to make it back to McKinney.
We’ll definitely return.

Sounds great.  Is there any possibility of a cheap john boat there in the future?  I can supply electric motor, battery & such, but like many folks don’t have a boat.

Frank,

We are working towards adding a boat at this location. However, it might take a month or more.
