Only One Keeper This Round.

Made it to Brockdale Park this evening but was a tough go... a lot of a Boaters and JetSkiers made for a tough go. However, did catch and release 5 undersized White Bass and caught one keeper sized White Bass that went ~ 14" in size!

Three Sunfish and Two Bass At Russell Creek Park This Morning...

Caught three Sunfish and two Bass at Russell Creek Park in Plano this morning. Sunfish went ~ 6" to 7" in size. Bass went 11" and 12" in size. Slow action with minimal surface activity, not the same activity as observed in years past. Still was good to catch a few; all were caught on a Yellow Grasshopper.

Eight Keepers Trolling Tandem Rigs At Brockdale This Morning

Hit Brockdale Park this morning for a go at White Bass. Trolled tandem rigs on flatlines using a combo of Roadrunners and Crappie Jigs. Caught 8 Keepers and released about 20 undersized White Bass and several Yellow Bass. Fish were further from shore, would be a tough go catching them from the bank. Was fun catch them trolling, looking forward to a fish dinner tonight!

Two Bass at Kroger Park and One Bass at Bethany On the Yellow Grasshopper

Fished Kroger Park and Bethany Lakes again this evening. Caught two little Bass at Kroger Park and one at Bethany Lakes after dark using the Yellow Grasshopper. Had several other strikes with a decent hit by one that was likely a Bruiser. Better luck next round.

Nine Bass At Kroger Park On A Yellow Grasshopper

Tied another Yellow Grasshopper to replace the one lost last week. Caught nine Bass at Kroger Park on a fast retrieve. No Bruisers but was fun still. Did have some issues with the overgrown algae. Looks like a lot grew in the past few days.
