HoCo gone Country




HoCo goes Country
Published on September 20, 2016


It has been really fun to see this new group of kids in High School want a "different" experience in lieu of the traditional homecoming festivities. We have hosted over 20 school groups in the last 24 months here at Mustang Ranch. They all have expressed a strong desire to escape the fast paced city, pressures of renting Limos, buying Mums that are as tall as their dates, expensive dinners no one is comfortable at and with. These kids are enjoying fishing, kayaking and playing horseshoes / washers here with their dates and friends. And in the evening cooking out on grills, then smores over a nice fire and cat fishing late into the night. The best part is they are not on any "schedule". They have no stress and do not have to be anywhere at anytime. We call that "country time" here at the ranch. Where kids can really be kids as we were and disconnect from the big city. The best part is they are experiencing a different side of "living" that most city folks have forgotten. These kids might very well be the generation that makes it "cool" again to be in the great outdoors.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 9)

GOOD. Water Stained; 82 degrees; 0.23 feet above pool. Fork : Top waters early around pond weed and grass with frogs and poppers still working . Mid morning chatter baits on the outside edge of grass in 3-5 ft is good as well as shaky heads . Best bite is Carolina rigs off shore on points , road beds and humps in 12-25 ft . Big worms and flukes are good . Deep Cranks are good over the same area when the fish are suspending 19-23 ft . Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Lily fields are filling in, hydrilla and milfoil are reaching for the surface. Fish this type of cover at mid day when bass are seeking cover. Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation early and late. Small fish patterns like a dock knocker are producing bass and crappie shallow near grass. Large bream have moved shallow, wooly buggers are producing good fish. Channel catfish are cruising 2-4 feet biting clousers. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Lake Fork crappie fishing has been super up and down this past week. The fish are stacked up on brush piles, lay downs, tire reefs and some trees. The bite is the tricky part. Some days the bite is good and the bigger fish show up. Some days the bite is just off and the short fish show up. Seems like the bite may be better on days we have a little breeze. If the winds are calm the bite is very slow. Minnows will get some bites but small 1/32nd ounce hand tied jigs with small bodies and tails are working well on fish that don’t want to bite. Best depths have been 18-13ft with most fish suspended on trees and loaded in the brush. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
