Ultralight Gear, Inline Spinners, and Stocked Trout... An Excellent Combination

Trout Stocking Season is a few months away in Texas. Here is a Shorts from last season where I am using inline spinners and ultralight spinning gear to limit out! See full video at COAF Field Team YouTube Channel

Light Strikes at Waterloo This Round

Headed to Denison Saturday afternoon and fished Waterloo.  Recently stocked in preparation for the Trout Derby held that morning; the bite was steady.

Three of us fished and managed to take three limits.  NucLaroche and T-Bone caught them on PowerBait and Ultralight Gear.  Fshng84 fished a COAF Guadalupana and a Four Weight Fly Rod.

The strikes were light but the Team did manage to take five each! Even caught one of the tagged Trout from the Derby!  Fun stuff!

Cold Morning... Caught a Limit!

Stopped by Bethany Lakes to fish this morning.  Really cold; rod guides were icing up.  Did see one limit taken, else the action was slow.

Tried catching them using fly fishing gear; had a few strikes but did not hook up.  After a couple of hours, headed to the house to warm up and add a few more layers to stay warm.

After a cup of coffee and when the feeling came back in my toes, headed back for another try. This time was able to catch two on PowerBait and three on a GRHEN!

Fun stuff but do dress warm!

Another Evening Round at Bethany Lakes!

Late start Saturday.  Rainy day but luckily it stopped by evening.  Fished with PowerBait and caught five Trout to make a limit.

Slow action, taking three hours to limit out.  The last one took over an hour to catch but did have two nibbles between Trout #4 and Trout #5!

Fun stuff!

Late Start; Fished the Evening this Round!

Late start going fishing today.  Ended up fishing the evening bite at Bethany.  Action was slow with light strikes and missed hook sets being the norm.

Did get three using Trout Fishing Rig #2 (see PowerBait Fishing Rigs for Rainbow Trout) PowerBait after about 1.5 hours.

After another 30", caught one on the second rod rigged with Trout Fishing Rig #1.  And then, 30" later caught the last one on the second rod as well.

Fun stuff... not bad for 2.5 hours on a quiet and cool (non-freezing temps) evening!

Another Round; Another Limit!

Back to Bethany this morning.  Temps in the 30s but no worries... action was steady on the Gold Super Duper!  Caught a limit of five!

Tried a steady retrieve without success.  Went back to what worked yesterday - count to 8-10, reel fast, then stop, repeat... and watch the line and rod tip for any hint of a strike!

Fun stuff!

Trout Stocking at Bethany Today!

Trout stocking at Bethany Lakes today.  Missed the truck releasing trout but luckily NucLaroche was able to get some footage!  Shortly after, he started hooking up with Rainbow Trout using PowerBait.  Caught three and lost a couple as well as missed a few hook sets.

Fshng84 gave it a try working a Gold Super Duper.  Managed to limit out with five, and then stood by and watched NucLaroche catch two to make his limit also using a Gold Super Duper!

Did notice that the trout tended to strike the lure as it fluttered when we stopped reeling. First tried a steady retrieve without success, and then did a stop and go retrieve that seemed to work... at least for this round.

Lots of fun, a number of limits being taken.  Action should be steady over the next few days... at least until the Cormorant arrive!

Slower But Steady Action at Waterloo This Round

Headed back to Denison this morning.  A layer of ice was showing on parts of the pond.  No worries, the Rainbow Trout were still biting.

Action was slower compared to yesterday but was steady!  Was able to get a limit of five; also saw others limiting out, too.  Used PowerBait Trout Dough Bait with Glitter and Extra Scent and an Ultralight Rod. Tried catching them with fishing flies but had no takers.

Fun time with cold temps but no wind and lots of sun!
PS:  Used Trout Fishing Rig #3 as noted in the online article - PowerBait Fishing Rigs for Rainbow Trout.  The pond at Waterloo has a fountain that made a strong current where the Trout were lurking.  The rig worked well and held in place and made for more consistent hook ups!

Pattern Change... Senkos

Started out fishing inline spinners; had a couple of strikes but did not hook up.  Switched to a Senko and worked it slowly; got a few more strikes and misses before finally hooking up.  Two Bass this morning!

Inline Spinner Did Well This Round

Checked out previous blog posts for September and noticed Inline Spinners and Spinnerbaits seemed to work well for the month.  Decided on using an Inline Spinner this round; caught six Bass, one Sunfish, and one Catfish.  The Catfish went 16" in length!  This one gets posted on the Fishing Bulletin Board.  Fun stuff... posted a video but for some reason could not keep track of the number of Bass caught.  Rechecked the videos; it's six Bass.

Rainy Morning... Bite Was Steady!

Rained this morning; was a good thing.  Noticed the Back Pond's water level has risen; other ponds are still low though.  Caught mainly Sunfish and Bluegill; did get some Bass as well.  All on Trout Magnets and an Ultralight. Fun stuff!

30" Quick Trip This Afternoon

Fished Bethany this afternoon.  Went with the Trout Magnet and the Ultralight this time.  Caught mainly little Sunfish, a Bluegill, and two Bass.  One Bass was about fingerling size; the other went about 13".  Fun stuff... did notice that most were striking at the end of the retrieve.

Mini-Jigs Again This Morning!

Went to Bethany Lakes this morning with mini-jigs and an ultralight again.  Caught a couple of Bass and Sunfish/Bluegill.  Ended the outing with several Fingerling Bass. Been noticing surface activity yesterday and this morning; could not get them to take a lure until this round. Turned out to be the Fingerling Bass making all the splashing!

Mini-Jigs This Round at Bethany!

Been a little while since we fished Bethany Lakes.  Made it this evening luckily.  First thing that caught our eye was the low water level.  Can see Cypress knees and bare ground that was once underwater not too long ago.

Brought the Ultralight this round and started fishing Senkos. Had several bites but could quickly tell they were small ones.  Switched to a Pink Trout Magnet - a mini-jig that works well on small fish.

First fish was a little Bass caught in the Lower Pond, and then it was Sunfish in the Canal. Later, moved to the pier in the Horseshoe Pond and had a few light strikes before hooking into a Bluegill lurking deep.

Then, decided to cast parallel to the pier and work the lure slowly back to where we were positioned.  Managed to hook into a decent Bass that went 15" in size.

Fun stuff!

Steady Action on Senkos This Morning

Went with Senkos and an Ultralight this morning at Bethany.  Caught eight Bass; no Bruisers but was still fun.  Used a reel and stop retrieve but noticed most hit the Senko while reeling in.

Fished the Point for White Bass!

Kayak fished the point by the free boat ramp south of Lavonia Park.  Trolled tandem Crappie Jigs - one Red/White and one Chartreuse.  Caught twenty White Bass, missed others, and kept five that were Keepers.  Largest went 14" in size.  Steady action with most striking while making a wide slow turn when changing direction.  Fun stuff and even gotta a workout in!
