Underwater Video Test Run

Made an underwater camera housing for the video camera.  Decided to give it a try and capture trolling an umbrella rig.  Went to Clear Lake Park on Lake Lavon yesterday and gave it a test run.  Was windy and the water was murky; really tough to see anything.  Did capture some video; also, we did get a Gaspergou so we did not strike out completely.  Will give it another try later.

Back To The Blue River

Went back to the Blue River Friday, 16 November for another go at the Rainbow Trout.  Temps were hovering around freezing in the morning.  Managed to catch four Trout!  First two went for an Olive Wooley Bugger Variant.  Third one went for a Olive/Black Wooley Bugger.  Last one went for a White Damsel Fly!  Did lose two others and spent a lot of time sight casting to Trout and Bass.  Had a number of them turn away at the last minute from the fishing fly.  Also, did get a couple of strikes on a Copper John; hooked but came off soon after.  Did not limit out but was a good day to be out there!

Tough Go on the Blue River today but did limit out!

Trout Derby was in full swing and lots of Trout were being caught including a few Bruisers.

After fishing all day, was able to limit out on Trout.  Started fishing flies and had two strikes.  Switched to Spinning Gear and had no strikes.  Switched to PowerBait and started getting bites.

Slow action... took from 8AM to 4PM to get a limit!

Three Bass on the Fly this Morning

Decided to take the fly rod out for this morning's quick trip to Bethany Lakes.  Tied some fishing flies last night in preparation for a day trip for Trout across the border to the Blue River.  Worked out well catching three Bass!  Hope the Trout like the fishing flies, too!

Three Bass This Morning

Another quick trip this morning to Bethany.  Caught three Bass on a Rip and Rap; no Bruisers... was hoping the big guy we missed yesterday would be lurking.  Turned out, he was not... that's fishing!

Fished the Morning Bite at Bethany This Round

Decided to fish the morning knowing Halloween is tonight.  Fished Bethany using our Rip and Rap Rapala.  Ended up catching five Bass and losing a nice one that struck but came off soon after.  Fun stuff!

Rip and Rap Rapala Does Well Yesterday

Went with a Rip and Rap Rapala Crankbait that we picked up from Cabelas.  Fished Bethany Creek pond - pond  that we had not fished in a while.  Caught a White Bass and a little Bass.  Then, moved on to Bethany Lakes and managed four more Bass!

More Fishing with a Crankbait This Cold Morning

Cannot help but fish again this morning.  Braved the cold temps and fished the same crankbait (Rapala Clack and Rap) we used yesterday at Plano East Senior High School.  This time went to Stoney Hollow Park in Plano.  Had not fished it in awhile.  Glad to see the Bass were biting somewhat.  Lucked out with four Bass this round; all struck near the weed line that parallels the bank.

Crankbaits After a Cold Front....

Cold front arrived.  Went for a quick trip to Bethany's Lower Pond.  Fished with Crankbaits and caught one Bass and lost another.  Have to dress warmer next time and stay longer.  Till then, better luck next round!

Two Bass This Round!

Quick trip to the Back Pond at Bethany.  Caught two Bass using our favorite Crankbait.  Not enough light to video tape the second Bass; posted a picture at the end. No Bruisers but still fun!

Missed a Fish, Missed a Catfish,... Caught a Bass

Quick trip to Bethany this evening.  Grabbed the first rod that was rigged and ran out the door... turned out the first rod we grabbed was the Baitcasting Rod that had the Crankbait we like.  Fished for about 45 minutes.  Had a strike but lost it soon after setting the hook, not sure what it was but we suspect it was a Bass.  Then, had a Catfish chase the lure; even got some video of it!  Looked like a Bruiser.  Finally, hooked and landed a Bass, then soon after called it a trip!

Fished Glendover This Round

Fished Glendover this round.  Did a little "scouting" with the camera, taking a few underwater shots to see what was lurking near the pier.  Saw mainly Bluegill but did see a glimpse of a Catfish going by.  So, baited up a fishing rod with Bread and managed to catch two Catfish.  Largest went 20+" in size.  Fun stuff!

Fishing for Bluegill... Underwater Camera.

Went fishing for Bluegill at Kroger Park.  Was able to get some underwater video of the action.  Water was cloudy so things are fuzzy, then it got dark.  No matter,... it's still fun!

Testing the New Camera Underwater....

Bought a GoPro Hero HD that can be used underwater.  Posted a test clip on our YouTube Channel; really liking it.  Hope to try it out while fishing and get some action shots!
