They were far and few, but this beautiful girl (photos) made the few worth it. I’m back at this great, clean, and easily accessible property for my first of 2023. I fished from 1230 pm to 530 pm. I can’t complain about 60 deg. weather in January. Water clarity was about 2’ and water temp was 53-54 deg. Winds were gusty at first but became manageable throughout the day. I threw the anchor once in a while. It was a little tough throwing soft plastics so I stuck with the fast moving baits like the spinnerbait and crankbait. I was also hopping and dragging the jig. Most fish were caught in 7’-14’ of water along the grassline, points, and brushpiles. They were not shallow. The south flooded timber was not successful like previous times. The humps yielded a couple of small bass. I worked hard for 7 bass including the long and very fat Pecan Gap gigantor. My digital scale was not working so weight unknown. I caught her cranking in 10’ of water. At first, I thought I was hung up on a tree branch. Then, it started moving. She basically covered my fish net lol. The water level was still down about 3-4’ shown from the photo taken near day’s end. I was hoping the water level was up from the rains but I guess not enough saturation to fill. I was still able to have a good time there as always. Thank you owner and PWF!
