Bank Fishing This Round... Only One Little Catfish

Went bank fishing this round. Back to Ticky Creek Park where we fished with jug lines yesterday. Used surf casting gear to get out where we placed the jug lines. Wanted to see if the bite was good from the bank. Had a lot of missed strikes, but did catch one little Catfish.

Jug Line Fishing This Morning

Fished Ticky Creek Park (Lake Lavon) with Kayak Fishing Jug Lines this morning. Took the kayak this time; made for an easier portage to the lake compared to the jon boat.

While setting up at the boat ramp, had a Carp go swimming by. Also, was able to get some fresh bait - Shad, using the cast net. No need to buy th frozen bait this time.

After setting the jug lines, had a Gar on the line. Luckily, it came off; hate having to mess with them in a kayak. Rest of the morning caught a number of small Catfish and a couple of Gaspergou.

Did end the trip with four Keepers - three Blue Catfish and one Channel Catfish. Making them for dinner tonight with the Beer Batter Fish Fry recipe we posted online!

Fun stuff!

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.

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.

Windy Day at Ticky Creek

Fished Ticky Creek this morning.  Decided to use the Sit Inside Kayak this round; really like the Heritage Angler.  Just have not used it in awhile.  Windy day and only one undersized White Bass!  Better luck next time.  Made a short video clip and posted it on COAF Field Team's Facebook page.

Kayak Fishing Ticky Creek

Wind let up today.  Decided to fish Lake Lavon with the Kayak.  Put in at Ticky Creek Park and made for the point.  Then, found out that we left the rod and reel at home.  Made do with a handline and a Roadrunner Jig.  Good thing the tackle box stays with the kayak!  Caught several White Bass with one Keeper.  Remainder did not meet the legal length requirement so were let go.
