Archgate Park in Plano

Stopped by Archgate Park in Plano this evening. Caught a Bluegill on a Bubble and Popper Rig. Hooked but lost a Bass while landing near shore. Switched to a Roadrunner without success. Promising location but fishing from the bank is challenging as the brush is much higher since our last visit. Click-on DFW Fishing News for more fishing information in the Metroplex area.

Surfcasting for White Bass

Back to Brockdale Park at Lake Lavon this evening. Hit the point with Surfcasting Gear again and managed to hook 5 White Bass. One was a keeper, the rest were too small. Regardless, released them for another day. Click-on DFW Fishing News for more fishing information in the Metroplex area.

Denison Dam Tailrace - May 29, 2009

Ran up the road to Denison Dam to fish the tailrace. Heard reports that the fishing activity was looking promising. Arrived around 7:45PM and fished well past dark. Had three strikes but failed to land them. Still a good trip. Even made a short video clip to show the waterflow at the tailrace. Added some pictures from past trips as a reminder (incentive) to keep trying!
