Three Missed Strikes This Time... No Bass

Made it back to fish the pond behind In-N-Out Burger.  Struck out without a fish landed.  Ended up hooking three but did not land them successfully... better luck next time!

Bite Was Good... 14 Bass This Round!

Bite was good this evening at Bethany.  Caught 14 Bass this round.  Senkos worked again!  Pattern changed from the other day as the front dropped temps.  This round the Bass liked no retrieve or a slight twitch now and then.  Fun stuff!

Slowed Things Down a Little

Cold temps this morning slowed things down a little.  Went with Senkos and Ultralight Gear and went to... you guessed it... Bethany Lakes for another round.  After missing several strikes, was able to hook a Bass.  Then missed more strikes before catching a second Bass.  Then, spied the big Koi that lurks in the area; got some video.  Then, went back to fishing.  Was able to get one more Bass this round!

Fished Bethany after the Cold Front Arrived... Caught 10 Bass on Senkos

Was not sure how the Bass would be doing after the recent cold front.  Temps were in the 40s this evening.  Luckily the Bass did not mind.  Caught and released 10 Bass but missed a lot more strikes.  Fun stuff using Senkos and Ultralight Gear!

Senkos Keep Working!

Big thunderstorm rolled through this morning.  Luckily, it passed through and things cleared up.  Decided to fish the pond by In-N-Out Burger.  Used Senkos and Ultralight Gear to catch seven Bass.  Then, went on to Glendover Pond and caught two more.  Today's catch was nine Bass.  All were caught on Senkos.  Did have one young fisherman show us his catch.  A Bass that went for a live fingerling Bluegill.  Good to see others catching them!

PS:  Fished the evening bite.  Checked out Auburn Springs with no bites; stopped at Bethany and caught three Bass.  Used Senkos again but went with Baitcasting Gear this time.

Three Bass at One Pond, then One More at Bethany

Fished the morning bite at the pond behind In-N-Out Burger.  Caught three working a weightless Senko slowly.  Then, stopped at Bethany afterwards; caught one more.  Fun stuff... four Bass for this morning's round!

PS:  Do check out the Texas Rainbow Trout Fishing's Top 5 Lures and Baits for Community Lakes partner article posted by our Team.  Closing out the 2012-2013 Trout Stocking Season, we received over 150 reports and posted the final summary for the Season!  Looks like Super Dupers and Power Bait still rock!

Eight Bass at Bethany This Round.

Windy conditions made it tough to fish the Bass beds at Bethany like we normally do - sight casting.  Had to shift to blind casting.  When this happens, we switch to a Senko.  We caught one using a Carolina-Rigged Senko, then switched to a weightless Senko.  Caught seven more to make total of eight this round.  Fun stuff!

More Bass and a Panfish....

Fished the pond at Bethany Creek Park; had not fished it for some time. Brought Senkos and a Hula Popper.  Ended up catching three little Bass, then went down the road to Bethany Lakes and caught two more Bass and a Panfish.  One Bass went for the Hula Popper, else it was Senkos all around!

Three Bass Again This Evening

Caught three Bass again this evening.  Bite was steady at Bethany but had to call the trip short when it started to rain.  Caught one Bass below the Waterfall.  Then, noticed Bass chasing baitfish along the shoreline in the Lower Pond.  Managed to get two of them to go for a weightless Senko.  Largest Bass this round went about 15" in size!

One Bass at Lunch, and then Four Bass Before Dinner!

Fished Bethany at Lunch and caught a Bass on a Spinnerbait.  Could not leave it at one, so before Dinner, stopped at Cabelas to pickup more Senkos and hooks, and then fished the pond behind In-N-Out Burger (also known as Eagle Lake).  Slower action with four Bass caught and released before dinner!  Having issues with loading the video onto Blogger.  Here is a link to Today's Video.

Rainstorms Today....

Fished Bethany this morning right after it rained.  Only caught one Bass on a Spinnerbait/Senko Combination.  Later in the afternoon, during a break between the rainstorms, fished the pond behind In-N-Out Burger.  Caught seven Bass; all were caught using Senkos!

Three Bass On a Quick Trip To Bethany This Round

Made it to Bethany this evening but was limited in time.  A quick trip this round; managed to catch three Bass on Senkos.  Fun time regardless of having to call the trip short!

Senkos Again at Bethany This Evening.

Had fun fishing Senkos at Bethany this evening.  Action was slower compared to yesterday.  Managed to catch two Sunfish and a little Bass near the Waterfall. Since there were only three fish caught today, decided to make a short slideshow of fish we caught beginning Saturday to Today.  Caught a fair amount of fish these last few days.... nothing record breaking but sure beats working!

Another Round of Fishing this Evening!

Decided to fish Bethany this evening.  Brought Senkos and Baitcasting Gear like we used yesterday when we fished the pond by In-N-Out Burger.  Water level is up from yesterday's rain; fish were active.  Ended up catching five Bass and two Sunfish.  Largest Bass went about 14" in size and was caught right next to the Waterfall in very shallow water! Gotta like them Senkos!
