Bite Was Steady This Morning On Jug Lines at Ticky Creek

Fished Lake Lavon at Ticky Creek this morning. Bite was steady with 15 Keepers; largest went 19" in size. Most went for Shad that we caught by the boat ramp. Did catch a couple of Gaspergou; used one for cut bait. Ended catching several on cut bait also! Fun stuff with most caught in 11'-12' of water with hooks set 1' and 2' from the bottom.

Jug Lining With the Kayak This Round

Used the kayak this round to put out jug lines. Managed to catch two Catfish and hooked but lost a nice Gar. Oh well, better luck next time. Let the Catfish go. One was just over 12" but wanted to hold out for larger ones. The other Catfish went about 18" but it too skinny for its head and length. Looked like an old injury to its bottom jaw although healed may have been the cause.

Fun Time Catching Catfish On Jug Lines This Morning!

Fished Lake Lavon at Ticky Creek Park this morning. Calm morning but the Shad were in the area as well as a few Catfish that lucked into our lines! Had a number of missed strikes from Yellow Bass possibly; even foul hooked one. Ended up with five Keepers but let go one because it just did not look right. Of the four we kept, three Blue Catfish and one Channel Catfish. Largest Catfish was a Blue Catfish that went 18". Fun stuff... having a Beer Batter Fish Fry later!

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 Ticky Creek!

Went back for more kayak fishing at Ticky Creek; more White Bass but no Keepers this time.  Did get a few action shots of the pole bending when the fish struck while trolling!  Fun stuff!

Three Keepers at Ticky Creek This Time!

Made it back to Ticky Creek and took the kayaks and fished the Point.  Caught White Bass with three Keepers this time!  Also, saw a lot of insects floating on the surface.  Noticed little Catfish feeding on them.  Cool stuff!

Back to Ticky Creek!

Took the Kayaks out to Ticky Creek this round.  Really nice day with minimal winds, making for an easy paddle.  Trolled with Crappie Jigs.  Managed to catch three White Bass; only one was a Keeper though.  Other two were undersized.  Fun stuff!

Surfcasting without the Surf at Ticky Creek!

Decided to checkout Lake Lavon at Ticky Creek.  Brought surfcasting gear and used an old Newell Reel that had been gathering dust for a while.  Got some good casting practice in, backlashes and all.  Even managed to get a couple of White Bass to strike!  Fun stuff!

Only Two Today....

Fished Ticky Creek again.  Put out jug lines and baited with Chicken Livers.  Seemed like a good idea but then we had to call it quits early when the wind picked up.  Did catch and release two fish - a White Bass and a Largemouth Bass.  Both were little... scrappy but little fighters!

One Little Catfish on a Jug Line....

Took the jug lines to Ticky Creek this evening.  Went with Chicken Liver for bait and free-floating jug lines; no anchors this time.

Slow go though. Caught one little Catfish on a jug line and two small White Bass trolling a Roadrunner on a handline.  Decided to get some exercise and do some trolling while waiting for the fish to bite.

Lotta fun, even better to see another fisherman's stringer of three Bruiser Catfish using jug lines (largest one can be seen in the video clip)!  Good to see they do work.

Only Two This Round....

Went back to the Point at Ticky Creek (Lake Lavon).  Windy conditions but still fun casting for distance.  Managed only two this round - undersized White Bass.  No Keepers today!  Continued to use the Sinker and Jig Rig and a Carp Rod.   Really liking the distance we get using this setup.

Struck Out This Evening....

Went back to Ticky Creek and struck out this evening.  Did get one strike at the Sinker and Jig Rig.  But, did not hook it.  Still had a great time casting for distance with the BFS Black Phantom Carp Rod!

Ticky Creek Again!

Was able to fish the BFS Black Phantom Carp Rod we ordered from Big Carp Tackle this evening.  Used a Sinker and Jig Rig and a Roadrunner for the jig and was able to cast for distance!  Caught more than one this round compared to the other day.  No Keepers but still was fun.  Really liking the Carp Rod.... works like a champ when casting from the shore!

Only One White Bass This Time

Ran up the road to a Ticky Creek Park on Lake Lavon.  Short on time but not enthusiasm, brought a Carp Rod and used it to "surf cast" from the lake's shore.  When the White Bass are active, can really have fun catching them on a Float and Jig Rig.  In today's case, only caught one White Bass.  So, it's a short video this time!
