To the Village, then to Bethany Lakes.

Checked out the Catch and Release Pond by the Village (near In and Out Burger). Brought Ultralight Gear and the Tandem Rigged Jigs. Was a tough outing; windy conditions and murky water. Did manage to catch two little Bass.

Went on to Bethany Lakes and fished the Lower Pond, Main Pond, and Back Pond. Caught more Bass but ended up losing the Tandem Rigged Jigs to a "Tree Fish"!

One lesson learned though... really like the Stren Knot when setting up Tandem Rigged Jigs. Had several line breaks but none caused by the Stren Knot failing!

Two Little Bass From The Village.

More Fun at Bethany Lakes with Jigs!

Went back to Bethany this evening for more fishing with Ultralight Gear and Jigs.  Had to restock Roadrunner Jigs and Tube Jigs after losing the last one in the tackle box this morning to a snag.  Good news,... tandem rigged Tube and Roadrunner Jigs continued to produce this evening with more Bass, Panfish and even another Catfish caught and released!

Morning Outing To Bethany Gets More Fish On Ultralight Gear and Jigs!

Fished Bethany Lakes this morning to kick off the Memorial Day Weekend!  Fish cooperated with Bass, Panfish, and a Catfish caught all on Jigs - Tube Jig, Curly Tail Roadrunner, or Marabou Roadrunner.  Had a nice fight with the Catfish hitting the Curly Tail Roadrunner.  Later, lost a Bruiser Bass on the Marabou Roadrunner; hooked him, fought him briefly, and then lost him when the hook came off.  Oh well, better luck next round!

Was a Bust at Brockdale but Bethany Made It Alright!

Took out the Surfcasting Gear and hit the Point at Brockdale Park (Lake Lavon).  Was a bust with no strikes on a Float and Jig Rig!  Changed gears and grabbed the Ultralight and tied on a Tandem Rig - Tube Jig and Roadrunner Jig.  Was able to hook into five Bass and one Catfish!

Ultralight Spinning Gear Continues To Work At Bethany!

Made it back to Bethany Lakes this evening.  Brought the Ultralight Gear and fished a Roadrunner Jig.  Caught Bass, a Bullhead, and a Panfish.  Then, lost the Roadrunner on a breakoff, can't push 4 lbs test too far.  Switched to a Tube Jig and caught a few more Bass!  Water level is up and the algae can be a little bothersome but it looks like the City treated the water as there is a blue tint now.  Fun stuff catching them on an Ultralight!
