New member here. 3rd time on PWF water and 3rd enjoyable experience. 1st time though reporting a successful fishing day. In my tarpon 100 kayak, I fought through the south wind today, which at times gusted to 25+ mph, yet still managed to catch 36 total. Harvested only 7 out of that. And 3 of those were right at 14’‘. All of the fish were taken with either a weighted senko or swimming senko in black/blue or green pumpkin/black. The wind really limited lure options. I found the fish stacked up along the shore opposite of the pier. It became apparent that it would be easier to beach the yak and bank fish. For a while, it was a fish or missed fish on every cast. That was a first for me. Never landed anything over 4 lbs., but I would say that half of bass were in the 17” - 18” range and the largest being 20 “. Wow, I will be back again soon.
The last few hundred yards of road to the lake fooled me the first time. So here’s a little “heads up” . When you get to “Y” at the corrals, go left just as the directions on PWF indicate. A paved road continues right and the access road to the lake does go left but turns into a hard to recognize dirt road that parallels the ranch buildings then veers left to the lake. Now it seems so easy.
