Fished a Different Point This Round....


Fished the area south of Lavonia Park to try for White Bass.  Very promising area per reports from TFF's TarponFly.  Brought the Carp Rod that we like to use for long distance surfcasting.  Also, brought Slabs and Crappie Jigs as suggested.

After walking from the parking area to the point near the Dam, noticed a lot of fish activity on the surface (note: the walk was muddy from yesterday's rain; we found it easier to wade the shoreline at times).

Casted for distance and had a few short strikes before finally hooking into one... a Largemouth Bass.  Kept at it some more and hooked a Yellow Bass. Then, a few boats passed through the area, so the bite was off for a few.  Then, started getting strikes again after things settled down.

More missed strikes but did get a Keeper White Bass that struck the Slab! Fun stuff... will need to come back and bring the Kayak next round.  Perfect area for some trolling!

Only Two This Round....


Went back to the Point at Ticky Creek (Lake Lavon).  Windy conditions but still fun casting for distance.  Managed only two this round - undersized White Bass.  No Keepers today!  Continued to use the Sinker and Jig Rig and a Carp Rod.   Really liking the distance we get using this setup.

Struck Out This Evening....

Went back to Ticky Creek and struck out this evening.  Did get one strike at the Sinker and Jig Rig.  But, did not hook it.  Still had a great time casting for distance with the BFS Black Phantom Carp Rod!



Ticky Creek Again!

Was able to fish the BFS Black Phantom Carp Rod we ordered from Big Carp Tackle this evening.  Used a Sinker and Jig Rig and a Roadrunner for the jig and was able to cast for distance!  Caught more than one this round compared to the other day.  No Keepers but still was fun.  Really liking the Carp Rod.... works like a champ when casting from the shore!

Clouser Gets a Bass at Bethany

Stopped by Bethany at Lunch today.  Went with Fly Fishing Gear and used a Red/White Clouser Minnow.  Water remains clear, fished for about 30" with one Bass caught and released.  With the one White Bass yesterday at Tickey Creek, and then the one Bass at Bethany today, hoping this is not the trend,... will see next round!





PS:  Package arrived via Fedex!  It was the order we placed with Big Carp Tackle in Oklahoma.  Ordered Sunday, shipped Monday, arrived Wednesday,  fast and convenient.  The BFS Black Phantom Carp Rods are looking like fish catchers.  Hope to try them out soon.  Liking the freebies that came with the Order, too!

One Sunfish This Round

Windy day,... decided to take quick trip to Bethany this afternoon.  Had a few little Bluegill go for a Purple Grasshopper Variant but too small to hook up.  Then, had a Sunfish finally connect.  One Sunfish this round.  Till next time!





PS:  Placed an order with Big Carp Tackle in Oklahoma.  Have ordered from them in the past with excellent service and fast shipping.  This time ordered two BFS Black Phantom Rod MK II "Carp Classic" rods.  Liked how the MadDragon Carp Rod we bought from Bass Pro Shops casts when fishing Denison Dam.  Wanted to see if the Black Phantom would do as well - especially since we could get two Black Phantoms from Big Carp Tackle for the price of one MadDragon from Bass Pro Shops.
