Reservation Number : 27076
Property Name : Backus Ranch
Reservation Date : 03/05/2021 All Day -
Total Fish/Sizes : 35 fish from 12” to 22” (2 at about 7lb)
Lures Used : Chatter bait, Spinnerbait, Lipless Crank, Jig
Weather: Air in the 50s, Water 53-55. Weather changed all day long (typical Texas early spring). Wind, Calm, Sun, Clouds, Rain. Repeat.
Fished 9-2PM one rod (wife just relaxed).
Put 5 “Harvest” fish in the live well.
Two really large bass 20” and 7lb football. 22” I didn’t weight but looked 7 to me.
Lots of nice 3 and 4 lb fish. A couple 5s.
All agressive eats (so I stopped using the lipless crank since they were sometimes taking it deep) and went only single large hook for the sake of these fantastic fish. Hard fighting fish.
Chatter bait with zoom fluke just killed it.
And got one TROUT too!
Going back for sure and next time will work out the fly rod a bit.
