Property Name : Lake Side
Reservation Date : 05/22/2021 All Day - 05/23/2021 AM
Total Fish/Sizes : Ten, 2 to 5 lbs
Lures Used : Texas and Carolina rigged soft plastic power worms and lizards

This was the last of three stops my father and I booked for his birthday and it was far and away the most productive. While we did not catch much sunshine we did catch a break in the rain (mostly) and boated 2x the fish we’d accumulated at our other stops. We also took advantage of the lodging and would encourage members who are interested in bundling lodging with their fishing to do the same, it’s a nice and easy to find spot well outfitted for a stay.

High Points: Good fishing from start to finish. After three days of fighting rain and wind we were able to fish comfortably from the club boat while ignoring what little precipitation we caught. We had action all over the lake and once we exhibited some patience on the bite were able to catch a good number over the ~4 hrs we fished. All were caught on Texas and Carolina rigged soft plastics; Texas rigged power worms in watermelon and Carolina rigged lizards in green pumpkin. The Texas rigged worm caught the majority, slow retrieve and patience on the hook. Picture attached is a good representation of the fish we caught if perhaps one of the smaller ones boated. We also threw some chartreuse/white spinner baits, watermelon swim baits (un-skirted, no blades), and some spook/dog topwaters off the pier during some of the rain spells but they did not yield fish.

Low Points: None to speak of.
