Jess Ranch Lakes Fishing Report

5-4-2008
Jess Ranch Lakes Staff

Anglers enjoyed another beautiful week and great trout action on both lakes with lots of limits and nice size fish on most stringers. Anglers still complained about catching their limits too quickly- some even with one pole. Power bait ( rainbow, garlic, orange, nymph, and bubblegum), night crawlers ( inflated and doused with attractant), jigs lures and senkos all caught limits. Bite remained good throughout the day. Hot spots included the grassy point, the eastern logged shore and the western shore of lake 3 as well as the northern, eastern and western shores of lake 2. Bass are in pre-spawn and anglers report catching up to 4 pound fish on drop shot, spinner bait and senkos. Hot spots for bass include the northern shore of lake 3 and the western, southern and northern shores of lake 2. Bluegill are still not up yet but should be in pre-spawn in the next week or two. The Bass Lake for Float Tubers is up and anglers report good action on drop shot, senkos and spinner bait. Top water action is good as well.

Hot spots included the eastern logged shore and...... Read More
