Oak Point in Plano, then Celebration Park in Allen

Decided to check out Oak Point in Plano to test a Purple Wooley Bugger.  Nice lake but tough access due to the brush lining the shoreline.  Had a few Bluegill chase the fishing fly and nip its tail, and caught a little Bass.  Hoping the Purple Wooley Bugger entices a Bruiser for this June's One Fishing Fly Challenge!

Afterwards, made a brief stop at Celebration Park's North Pond to see how the Bluegill and Sunfish were doing.  Caught a few on Midges, all were little but did see a few larger Bluegill chase the Purple Wooley Bugger.

May's One Fishing Fly Challenge Closed Out; Field Team selects "The Color Purple" for June!

The COAF Field Team closed out May's One Fishing Fly Challenge with Fshng84 taking the top spot.  Bass that went just over 15" was caught using Foam Rubber Spider Variants.  There were larger Bass missed, lost, or caught on other fishing flies but overall the Team feels May went well.

Moving on to June, "The Color Purple" was chosen for June's One Fishing Fly Challenge.  That is, any fishing fly can be used as long as it has purple in the pattern.  So, tie on your favorite fishing fly, add some purple and you are ready to go!

Good Luck and Good Fishing!

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.

Kayak Fishing For Brockdale Park's White Bass

Decided to take the kayak out this evening and hit Brockdale Park for a chance at the White Bass.  Caught six keeper-sized White Bass and one Gaspergou trolling Roadrunners.  Also, caught and released about twenty undersized White Bass, a little Yellow Bass, and a little Bass.  Had a fun time catching them; even got a workout in paddling the kayak!
