No Joy Today - Lake Lavon @ Brockdale Park - June 7, 2008

No joy today at Brockdale Park. Trolled with White Crappie Jigs with no hits. Strong wind made it tough to fish. Factoring the wind and time of day - around Noon, may explain why we did not hook up. Going to have to give it a try later once the wind dies down. Checkout DFW Fishing News for more fishing information. Click-on DFW Fishing News.

Erwin Park - June 2, 2008

Lake Lavon @ Brockdale Park - May 24, 2008

Fished Lake Lavon's Brockdale Park again this morning for a couple of hours. Went in the kayak and trolled a White Crappie Jig and a variant tied with Pearl Chenille and White Krystalflash.

Caught 20+ small White Bass and one Keeper. Opted to release rather than take the one Keeper. Windy day again but still worth a try given the consistent action.
