Slow Action At Lake Lavon Tailrace This Afternoon

Fished Lake Lavon's tailrace this afternoon. No luck for us but did see others catching and releasing undersized White Bass. Looks like the morning bite did better with more action reported!

Took a Spike Yesterday.

Took a Spike yesterday morning.  Had to watch him closely as he approached to determine if it was a legal Buck or not.  County defines a legal Buck as 13" or greater inside spread or one unbranched antler.  Have seen others but none met the legal requirement.  Luckily this one made the regulations and is now meat for the freezer!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!  Been a busy time this year but am staged for the upcoming Trout Stocking at Bethany Lakes on 11 December.  That said, been hearing intermittent success at the Lake Lavon Tailrace for White Bass.

Not able to wet a line lately, today the excuse was cooking... opted to fry a Turkey today for a tastly meal!

Weekend Hunt Results

Weekend hunt ended well with a hog and a deer for the freezer.  Hog was taken last night, deer this morning.

Also, one Bruiser was taken when it was parting the brush as it approached!

Later, refilled the feeder and the "pig toys" - pvc tubes with holes in them, with corn and put the game camera out.  A couple of Sows and Piglets showed later that night.

On The Road!

On the road tomorrow to the Lease! But, gotta enjoy a Friday night with beer, pizza, and live Blues music with Buzz Andrews and the Band at the Cadillac Pizza Pub!



More info on the hunt this weekend. Wish us luck. For now, let's forget the work week with Buzz!

5 White Bass at Lake Lavon's Tailrace!

Fished Lake Lavon's tailrace this morning. Caught 5 White Bass using surfcasting gear and Cork and Jig Rigs like we used at Denison Dam's tailrace. Fun to stretch a line!

A Bluegil And A Bass

Fished Bethany Lakes earlier today without success. Came back for another try in the evening. Managed a Bluegill and a litte Bass.

Had used a Yellow Crappie Jig earlier; went with an Olive Wooley Bugger this round.  Good choice with two fish landed and more missed strikes.

Because It's Friday the 13th....

Hit Bethany Lakes at lunch today.  Windy and sunny, things looked promising.  But, struck out. 

Saw some activity with a "2-pounder" working the shallows. So, fish are there, just not interested in my lure - a yellow crappie jig.

Was trying a different lure than the old standby - Olive Wooley Buggers and Roadrunners.  Looks like it was the wrong decision or maybe because its Friday the 13th!

No Hunting, No Fishing, No Working!

No hunting, no fishing, no working today.



Just pizza, margaritas, and live Blues music at the Cadillac Pizza Pub.



Taking a brief but well needed break from things as we prep for another fun weekend at the Lease (21-22 Nov'09).



All we can say is the food tastes great and the music is even better!



Gotta love an open mic to bring out the hidden but talented musicians amongst us!
