70 Small White Bass

Fished Brockdale Park at Lake Lavon this morning. Action started slow but picked up once the schools came in. Left the point while they were still biting, catching and releasing 70 small White Bass.

40+ Small but Fun to Catch White Bass

Fished Brockdale Park this morning for another go at the White Bass. Fish were in shallows off the point; used Surfcasting gear and Cork and Jig Rigs like yesterday. Jig used was a Yellow Crappie Jig. Intent was to try out a fishing rod and reel combo made up of a collapsible fishing rod bought in Japan 15 years ago and a Ambassadeur 5000 reel bought over 20 years ago. Combo worked well with over 40+ White Bass caught and released! Small fish but still fun to catch. Click-on COAF Fishing Leader Board to checkout top fish caught this year by our readers.
