More Jug Line Fishing Today

Back to the Lake Lavon for more jug line fishing today. Boat ramp was closed at Ticky Creek but was able to launch from shore and get the jug lines set! Caught three Catfish, lost another one, and had several misses. Had a fun time.

Jug Lining This Round... Only One

Went Jug Line Fishing this morning. Set up six jug lines using the Kayak Fishing Jug Lines we described in the Jug Line Fishing article we posted some time back. Took the jon boat out instead of kayaks; after setting lines, did some trolling for White Bass. No White Bass but did get one Catfish on a jug line!  Had to deal with the wind every once in awhile as well as a boater running through the lines, else it was a fun time despite only getting the one.

Just a Cloud... Struck Out This Round

Checked out Lake Lavon this morning by Little Ridge Park.  Had a little rain but was just a cloud passing by.  Wind was brutal though. Worse... struck out with no fish caught.  Oh well, better luck next time!

Lake level remains low; saw several areas that we liked to fish in the past closed due to low water. So, maybe it won't be just  a cloud passing by next time!

Windy and Waves This Round

Headed to Ticky Creek Park for more kayak fishing. Boat ramp was closed but not an issue with the kayak. Launched from the beach without an issue. Windy though and water was rough. Had a tough time hooking up. Did get a Yellow Bass and a White Bass after getting a good workout in! Both went for Crappie Jigs.

Kayaking for White Bass this Round

Hit Lake Lavon at Little Ridge Park this morning.  Took kayaks out this time and did some kayak trolling. Managed to catch a few White Bass.  Only six were Keepers but still had a good time and a good workout!

Used a Red and White Tube Fishing Fly, a Red and Chartreuse Crappie Jig, and a Chartreuse Slab.  Caught most on the Red and White Tube Fishing Fly!

Only One Keeper This Morning!

Fished Clear Lake this morning with the kayak.  Tried drifting for Catfish with Shad; had two nibbles but no hook ups.  Switched to a Slab and Jig Rig and had one take but failed to set the hook well.

Kept at it; a White Bass struck but was not a Keeper. Went another 30"; another struck.  It was a Keeper.  Only two White Bass this round with only one Keeper. Still a fun time!

Cast Net... for Shad

Went to Clear Lake Park at Lavon yesterday.  Rain was looming in the distance, decided to bring the cast net and catch some Shad for bait.  Found that one of the two boat ramps was closed.  Luckily, the other remained open, so we were able to cast our net and catch a few Shad before we called it a trip!

Kayak Trolling This Morning!

Went kayak fishing this morning.  Was planning to launch from the free boat ramp nearest the dam.  Road was closed. Luckily, had the COE Annual Pass, so went to Lavonia Park and put in from the Day Use Area.

Paddled out to the Point we like to fish and began working the area... trolling a Slab and Crappie Jig Rig as well as casting to boils!

Caught two Yellow Bass and a number of White Bass with three Keepers.  Fish for Dinner tonight!

Another Go at the Power Plant

Decided to fish the Power Plant this evening.  Was not as good as yesterday morning. Worked the discharge area without a strike.  After a while, decided to get a workout and trolled the area.  Got a decent workout but only had one fish strike.  Was not a Keeper but at least we did not strike out!

Power Plant This Round

Fished the Power Plant this round by Little Ridge Park on Lake Lavon; no Keepers but did get a few to take a Slab or a Crappier Jig!  Also, saw others doing well with fish caught on almost every cast!  Next round, going to bring an anchor and setup closer but well outside the restricted area.

Lavonia Park and Little Ridge Park This Round

Decided to fish the bank at Lake Lavon this round.  Went to Lavonia Park and setup our gear. Had several light nibbles using nightcrawlers but only managed one fish - a Gaspergou.  Too bad we did not have "boat" repellent; had two boats float over our fishing spot.  After a while without a bite, decided to head up the road to scout at Little Ridge Park.  Saw the Power Plant was generating; may need to bring the kayaks next round!

Windy Morning... Caught Two Gaspergou.

Windy morning; decided to try Ticky Creek.  Fished the leeward side and started working the area.  Slower action but did manage two Gaspergou using a Tandem Rig - White Roadrunner and Chartreuse Crappie Jig.  No video; just a picture.

More Kayak Fishing at Clear Lake Park!

Returned to Clear Lake Park on Lake Lavon.  Fished with the kayak and trolled crappie jigs. Managed three undersized White Bass; no Keepers this round.  Did get a few hard strikes but could not set the hook in time.  Till next time... Good Luck and Good Fishing!

Surfcasting without the Surf at Clear Lake Park

Decided to try fishing from the bank this round.  Having caught Gaspergou while drifting a kayak near shore, figured casting from the bank would produce a fish or two.  After over an hour without a strike, finally caught one - a Gaspergou.  Kept on fishing but only managed one more fish - an undersized White Bass.  Fun stuff!

Windy Day But Did Catch a Few!

Was busy doing some "honey do's " Saturday.  Did have an opportunity to fish later on.  Was debating about taking the kayak or using surfcasting gear to fish Clear Lake Park on Lake Lavon.

Wind was picking up so kayak fishing may have been tough.  In the end, went with the kayak... figured the "Island" would provide enough protection so we could fish.

It didn't.... regardless, launched the kayak and fished the area from boat ramp to boat ramp without a strike.  Then, decided on a workout and headed to the leeward side of the "Island". Still no bites but the anchored boats and music playing made for a party-like atmosphere.

On the way back to the boat ramp, slow-trolled the Crappie Jig we by letting the wind drift the kayak.  Wind was pushing in the right direction but did not get a strike.

Was getting ready to call it a trip when a fish struck the jig while we were pulling the kayak ashore.  The kayak was beached and the line was still trailing behind; waves and wind were causing it to bounce up and down.  Reeled the line in; it was a Gaspergou.

Could not leave the fishing while they were biting.  So, launched the kayak again and started working the bottom by paddling upwind to setup for a drift, then slowed the kayak where the jig would bounce along the bottom.

When setup correctly the rod tip would shake and bounce in unison with the jig bouncing along the bottom. Ended up catching three more Gaspergou.  Also, caught a White Bass while paddling upwind but had to release it as it was not a keeper.

Fun stuff... especially when you accidentally find a pattern that works!

Took the kayaks Friday and trolled jigs round Clear Lake Park on Lake Lavon.  Slower action compared to the other day we kayak fished.  Managed undersized White Bass on Red/White Crappie Jigs.  Fun stuff!

White Bass and a Gaspergou This Round!

Brought Surfcasting Gear this evening (Thursday) and fished from the bank at Clear Lake Park on Lake Lavon.  Had noticed that the White Bass were in surfcasting distance while kayak fishing last weekend.  Started fishing a Weight and Jig Rig with Tandem Crappie Jigs.  No strikes for an hour, then switched to a Slab and Jig Rig.  Managed to catch four White Bass (undersized) and one Gaspergou!  Fun stuff!

Clear Lake Park This Round

Fished Clear Lake Park on Lavon yesterday.  Brought the kayaks and trolled a White Roadrunner and a Red/White Crappie Jig.  Caught and released 30+ fish - all were undersized White Bass except for one Yellow Bass.  Been a while since we been to Clear Lake Park; will likely be back again!
