Property Name : Hat and Star Ranch
Reservation Date : 05/07/2022 All Day -
Total Fish/Sizes : 6 culled
Lures Used : Texas rigged Senkos, lipless crainkbait, jigs, swimbait

Was a beautiful day, but the fish were not cooperating. We were able to grind out 6 culls and lost 1 nice one, but that was it. Started at 7 fishing top water and frogs over the structures and grass.  No luck.  Found them suspended around ledges and hunps.  Tried everything to get them to bite: rattletrap, spinneebait, swimbait, jerkbait, crainkbait, wacky rigs, and swim jigs.  Nothing.  Caught to 2 culls with weightless Senkos in the grass about 10a.  Fished the grass until about noon and got 1 more cull on a senko.  Hooked 1 nice fish snapping a jig through the grass but lost it. In the afternoon we went back to the suspended fish with rattle traps and got 3 more culls.  Called it a day at 3:30.
