Quick Trip Yields Two Bass...

Been hectic at our day jobs but did manage to make it to Bethany for a quick 30" trip.  Went with a Flyrod and a White Foam Spider.  Wind was strong but did manage to cast good enough to hook a couple of Bass.  No Bruisers but still fun.  Also caught a few small Sunfish but opted not to take pictures of them.

More Sunfish and a Bass at Bethany!

Only had a short amount of time to fish today.  Went simple,... bringing only the Tenkara Rod and an Olive Crawdad.  Caught a few Sunfish and a little Bass.  Action has slowed with the cooler temps.  No worries, things will turn soon!

Here's the picture of the little Bass.

Tenkara Fishing at Lunch Time,... Three Sunfish and a Bass!

Another reason we like Tenkara Fishing is it offers ease of setup so that a short 30" Lunch Break can turn into a Fishing Trip!

Made it to Bethany and fished an Olive Crawdad.  Landed three Sunfish and a Bass.  Action was slower compared to yesterday.  Guessing the cooler temps has impacted them.  No worries, action will pick up again!

More Tenkara Fishing at Bethany,.... 3 Bass and 5 Sunfish!

Went back to Bethany for more Tenkara Fishing.  Made it right before the thunderstorm arrived.  Managed to catch 3 little Bass and 5 Sunfish in about 30".  Did notice the downed trees and branches everywhere.  Looks like the strong winds last night had an impact on the park.

Tenkara Fishing at Bethany Lakes Makes Good,...

Welcome! Tenkara Fishing at Bethany Lakes makes good again with another fun trip catching and releasing Bass, Bluegill, and Sunfish. Largest Bass went about 14" or 15" in length.

Afterwards, loaded up on Bread and Dough Bait and fished Glendover for Catfish. Caught three. Bite was slower and Catfish were not as big compared to the day before!

Caught and Released a Few Catfish at Glendover!

Went to Glendover Park with JB11 for a go at the Catfish.  Brought Bread and the Homemade Dough Bait.  Action was steady on both baits.  Caught and released 10 Catfish ranging from 16" to 20" in size with the majority going 18"-19"....  Fun stuff!

Caught and Released a Snapping Turtle and Two Catfish!

Fished Bethany Lakes in the early evening.  Things started out slow with the main activity being Ducks!  Had a few nibbles but nothing solid.  Then, got a nice strike that turned out to be a Snapping Turtle!  More nibbles and missed hooksets, then hooked and landed a Bruiser Catfish that went 20.5" in size. Released it, and then soon after caught a smaller Catfish.  Closed out the trip watching more Ducks (that is Ducklings); posted the Bruiser on the Team's Leader Board!

Catfish Still Biting at Bethany Lakes,....

Been trying out the Dough Bait recipe; decided on Bethany Lakes in hopes of catching more than one like we did the other day.  Good thing,... caught several Catfish three largest went 15", 18", and 19" in size!  Fun stuff,... and given the 15" minimum requirement was able to post them on the COAF Fishing Leader Board for 2011!

Back to Celebration Park after the Storm Passed!

Went back to the East Pond later this evening after the thunderstorm passed.  Caught five Bullhead on the Homemade Doughbait, and then a 16" Catfish on Bread well after dark!

Had a nice one on but lost it while bringing it in, and then had another that wrapped the line around a snag.  Pulled hard and brought the snag out of the water; was someone's kite!

Fun stuff....

Season's Over But Still Nice To Observe...

Was out this afternoon and noticed a couple of Ducks hanging out at a community lake! Look like Gadwall,... maybe they will hang around till the Season starts up again!
