Did You Know 2Lbs Test and a Trout Magnet Can Catch Bass? #bass #ultralightfishing #bfsfishing

Was fishing the local pond for Trout fishing a Trout Magnet with a BFS Reel. No Trout but I did not strike out. Only caught one... Nice One!

Crappie Jigs This Round

Went to Bethany this morning.  Started out with a Crappie Jig and Trout Magnet on a tandem rig.  Noticed the fish were going for the Crappie Jig, so switched to just a Crappie Jig.  Caught several using a steady retrieve, then noticed the Bass were chasing bait fish in the shallows; started going with a fast retrieve and caught more.  Later noticed the Bass were going for the bait fish balling up along a deeper section of the Main Pond, so started dropping the jig where the bait fish were balling up and caught a few more Bass.  Lots of fun. No Bruisers but still a great time!

Rainy Morning... Bite Was Steady!

Rained this morning; was a good thing.  Noticed the Back Pond's water level has risen; other ponds are still low though.  Caught mainly Sunfish and Bluegill; did get some Bass as well.  All on Trout Magnets and an Ultralight. Fun stuff!

30" Quick Trip This Afternoon

Fished Bethany this afternoon.  Went with the Trout Magnet and the Ultralight this time.  Caught mainly little Sunfish, a Bluegill, and two Bass.  One Bass was about fingerling size; the other went about 13".  Fun stuff... did notice that most were striking at the end of the retrieve.

Bethany This Round... Mini-Jigs Again!

Made it to Bethany this evening.  Rained this morning briefly; not enough to restore the water level.  Still low but the fish were biting.  Things started out slow but managed to catch Bass, Bluegill, Sunfish, and even a Catfish!  Fun stuff!

Mini-Jigs Again This Morning!

Went to Bethany Lakes this morning with mini-jigs and an ultralight again.  Caught a couple of Bass and Sunfish/Bluegill.  Ended the outing with several Fingerling Bass. Been noticing surface activity yesterday and this morning; could not get them to take a lure until this round. Turned out to be the Fingerling Bass making all the splashing!

Mini-Jigs This Round at Bethany!

Been a little while since we fished Bethany Lakes.  Made it this evening luckily.  First thing that caught our eye was the low water level.  Can see Cypress knees and bare ground that was once underwater not too long ago.

Brought the Ultralight this round and started fishing Senkos. Had several bites but could quickly tell they were small ones.  Switched to a Pink Trout Magnet - a mini-jig that works well on small fish.

First fish was a little Bass caught in the Lower Pond, and then it was Sunfish in the Canal. Later, moved to the pier in the Horseshoe Pond and had a few light strikes before hooking into a Bluegill lurking deep.

Then, decided to cast parallel to the pier and work the lure slowly back to where we were positioned.  Managed to hook into a decent Bass that went 15" in size.

Fun stuff!

Jigs and Ultralight This Round

Took Jigs and an Ultralight this morning to Bethany Lakes.  Wanted to see how the Trout Magnet Jigs we bought last Trout Season would do.  Ended up catching a 7" Shellcracker, and then missed several Bass that threw the jig.  Ended the outing with four Sunfish caught from the Canal.  Good to see the Trout Magnet worked, especially when used with Slip Bobber!

Trout Magnet

FYI... Here is a picture of the Trout Magnet that worked well for some on the Trout stocked at Prosper's Community Park Pond.  Had stopped at Academy in Plano off of Central; no luck.  Checked out the one in Mckinney; had several in stock!  Bought some to keep in the fishing vest/tackle box... hope to get a chance to try them out before the Trout bite turns cold.

Out and About... Ends with a Limit!

Fished Bethany Lakes Friday evening.  Very cold, would not have been so bad if we could have landed a fish. Had two hookups but lost them soon after!

Next morning, went to Towne Lake in Mckinney.  Still very cold; made worse by the wind.  Fished for an hour and had some strikes using a GRHEN but missed setting the hook.  Did see others catching them on Powerbait!

Decided to checkout the action in Prosper's Community Park.  They hosted a Trout Derby to kick-off the Trout Stocking.  When we arrived, Trout were actively feeding on tiny midges.  Too bad they did not want our fishing flies.

Switched to Powerbait and waited out the bite; started hooking up the around 5PM.  After a long day, limited out!

Did see others doing better, catching them using Bread, Corn, Powerbait, and something called a Trout Magnet!  It was the hot bait today, out fishing all others this round!
