Checked the Trot Line.

Checked the Trot Line this morning.  Had baited up with Shrimp and Hot Dogs this time.  Caught four Catfish we kept for dinner.  Also, caught and released three undersized Catfish and a White Bass.  And, did lose another Catfish while bring it in.  Fun stuff!

Today's Catch....

Checked the Trot Line this morning.  Caught five Catfish, released one that was undersized and kept four for Dinner.  Largest went 19" in size.  Fun stuff... much calmer winds compared to yesterday!

Set Another Trot Line!

Set a Trot Line today.  Used Shad, Shrimp, and Hot Dogs for bait.  We are letting the Trot Line soak now; hope to catch a Bruiser or two this round.  Made some adjustments since last time.  Added two more floats and weights to keep the main line off the bottom and set at the right depth.

Also, used a "Hand Line" holder to store the main line and a "Noodle" to keep the hook and leaders organized.  Despite the strong wind today was able to set the Trot Line with minimal issues and did not have to untangle any hooks and leaders this time.

Now... if the fish would cooperate and get caught, things will be even better!

Checked the Trot Line....

Checked the trot line we set.  Caught four Catfish.  Two were small and were released; two were decent sized and were filleted!  Measured 19" in size.  Baited with Shrimp and Hot Dogs; looked like the fish preferred the Shrimp.  Also, noticed some new additions to the fence where some "Bruisers" were posted. Looks like someone has been getting some big ones!

Only One This Time

Went to Brockdale Park this evening.  Windy conditions made for some tough paddling.  Did manage to catch one White Bass.  Other than that, got a decent workout this round paddling the  kayak!

More Than One This Round

Set two Trot Lines out last night.  Had only caught one Catfish last round.  This time caught five Catfish - three we kept for Dinner and two that we released because they were too small.  Used Shrimp and Chicken Livers for bait.  The Shrimp seemed to work better than the Chicken Livers.  Better to have gone with Shad for bait but had a tough time catching them in our cast net.  After picking up the Trot Lines, did a little Jug Lining; had a hit or two but no hookups.  Oh well, have enough fillets for Dinner.  Courtesy of the largest of the three Catfish we caught; measured 22" in length!

Only One This Round...

Set out a Trot Line this afternoon.  Checked it after soaking for 2 hours.  Caught only one Catfish.  Let it go as it was small.  Re-baited the hooks, and then set out another Trot Line.  Hoping for a Bruiser when we check them again!

Jug Lining at Brockdale Park

Went to Brockdale Park this evening and set out Jug Lines.  Let them soak for about 2 hours; had a few light hits but no hookups.  Used Chicken Liver that tended not to stay on the hook.  Although a bust, was still fun taking the kayak out and "fishing".... Sure beats working!

Another Go at Kayak Fishing Brockdale Park


Made a run to Brockdale Park to Kayak Fish for White Bass.  Met up with TFF's Mikes14 and worked the Point trolling Crappie Jigs and Roadrunners.  Lots of baitfish in the area, and a few fish lurking over the brushline, but overall the action was slow.  Regardless, had fun catching and releasing a few White Bass as well as putting a nice sized Crappie on the stringer!

More White Bass at Brockdale Park

Returned to Brockdale Park for more kayak fishing for White Bass.  Mostly undersized fish but did catch one Keeper.  Caught them on a White Marabou Roadrunner.  Slow but steady action with a lot of wind.  Did see a few boils of fish feeding on shad as it got later in the day.

Quick Trip to Brockdale Park

No fishing yesterday and a late start this evening. Made it a quick trip to Brockdale Park at Lake Lavon. Brought the Daiwa MadDragon Carp Rod and used a Float and Jig Rig in hopes of catching a few White Bass on the Point.  It was a bust.  Cold temps, wind,... whatever the excuse, did not get a strike.  Saw minimal fish activity and no Shad at the boat ramp.  Still good to do some long distance casting and liked that the water level is up compared to last year!

Struck Out This Afternoon... Brockdale Park.

Trolled the point at Brockdale Park (Lake Lavon). Tough time this round with zero fish caught. Regardless, was a good workout rowing on a calm but hot day!  Water level was low and no baitfish (Shad) sighted.

Was a Bust at Brockdale but Bethany Made It Alright!

Took out the Surfcasting Gear and hit the Point at Brockdale Park (Lake Lavon).  Was a bust with no strikes on a Float and Jig Rig!  Changed gears and grabbed the Ultralight and tied on a Tandem Rig - Tube Jig and Roadrunner Jig.  Was able to hook into five Bass and one Catfish!

Quick Trip To Brockdale Park And Then To Celebration Park!

Brockdale Park
Stopped by Brockdale Park at Lake Lavon to checkout the action on the Point.  Water level was low with minimal activity observed. 

Moved on to the East Pond at Celebration Park to continue testing the Homemade Doughbait. 

This batch had stayed on the hook much better allowing for longer casts. 

Managed several 16" Catfish, else it was small Bullheads. (Sampling of today's catch posted below).

Eight Keepers Trolling Tandem Rigs At Brockdale This Morning

Hit Brockdale Park this morning for a go at White Bass. Trolled tandem rigs on flatlines using a combo of Roadrunners and Crappie Jigs. Caught 8 Keepers and released about 20 undersized White Bass and several Yellow Bass. Fish were further from shore, would be a tough go catching them from the bank. Was fun catch them trolling, looking forward to a fish dinner tonight!

More Surfcasting At Brockdale Park But...

Went back to Brockdale Park this evening.  Used surfcasting gear to fish the Point.  Front seems to have changed things with less surface activity compared to yesterday.  Did manage four undersized White Bass.  Regardless, was good to know a Cork and Jig Rig was still getting a strike or two!
