I went to the lake on October 19th with my tournament partner Iain to get back on the water for the first time since breaking my leg in early September. We fished for about 5 hours from around noon until about 5 PM or so. It was mostly sunny outside with outside temperatures in the mid 80's, and a steady southwest wind at about 10-12 mph. Water clarity on the lake was pretty steady at about 2 feet of visibility. We spent the day throwing chatterbaits and wacky rigs on clumps of submerged vegetation on flats in anywhere from 3-8 feet of water, and were able to catch a decent limit of bass weighing somewhere between 11 and 12 pounds, with a 3.54 pounder I caught on a chatterbait (pictured with the report) being our big fish! South Lake is a great little lake to get on and learn new techniques, or just go cover water and have a good time catching decent numbers of fish anywhere from 1-5 pounds! Good luck on your next trip out, and tight lines!

Early morning catching on wacky rigged senkos at the grass edges. Mid-morning bass were moving to deeper (10-12) but not biting as much. South Lake Farmersville, TX is a small lake that is great for kayak fishing.

I went out to the lake with my buddy Kevin on Tuesday, November 26th. It was a post-frontal late fall/early winter day, with outside temperatures starting at around 34 degrees in the morning and warming up slightly to about 50 degrees by the mid-afternoon when we left, after a 40 degree temperature drop overnight. The water temperature was right at about 55 to 56 degrees lakewide, and the water clarity ranged from about a foot and a half of visibility on the windier banks, to around 4 feet of visibility in the calmer water, with a slight greyish hue to the water overall. It was sunny outside all day, with a very slight north wind at around 4-8 mph. We tried powerfishing early on, and couldn't get anything going covering water up shallow or on the deeper grass edge, so we eventually moved out into 10-12 feet of water where a creek channel runs through a grass flat and creates a very defined ditch. There, we found a pretty nice sized school of bass, and utilized a drop shot and a neko-rig to pick them off the bottom with our FFS. We caught 12 fish total, with all but 1 of them coming on one of those two baits, and the one fish not caught on a neko or drop shot fell victim to the a 6 inch line through swimbait out in more open water. It was a slower day than most out on South Lake, but we still had a good time catching a dozen or so bass, and our best 5 went right at 11 pounds with our big fish being a 3 pounder that Kevin caught that is pictured with this report. As the winter weather sets in and stabilizes, the bite on south lake should only get better, so get out there and wet a line!
