Celebration Park - East Pond

Fished the East Pond at Celebration Park in Allen just after 5:30 PM today. Used Bread for bait in hopes of enticing some of the "Bruiser" Catfish that reside in the pond. Had good luck with Bread last year. Caught 5 small Channel Catfish and 4 Bullheads but no "Bruisers". Still a good trip with a much needed break from the work week. Took some pictures but was unable to post them. Channel Catfish went about 12" and the Bullheads about 9" to 10" in size. Good luck and good fishing!

Update: Was able to post pictures.
