More Baitcasting, Buzzbaits, and Bass This Round!

Went to Kroger Park this evening and caught several Bass.  Brought the same Baitcasting Rig and Buzzbait that we used to catch the Frog yesterday.  This round... caught Bass!

Baitcasting Rig, Buzzbait, and a Big Frog!

Fished Bethany this evening. Live music was good with a Country band playing in the amphitheater.  Decided to fish with an old Baitcasting Rig and a Buzzbait.  Had several strikes but no solid hookups.  Did hook and land a big Frog that struck the lure. Did not know that they liked Buzzbaits!

Just Passing By.... Angelina River!

Continued a road trip that really had the Team wishing for a long weekend.  Passed by the Angelina River and was only able to take snapshot while passing by.  Really looked promising!

Hidden Creek (Tyler)

Was on the road today. Brought along the Tenkara Rod and looked for any opportunity to fish. Tight schedules made for a tough go at wetting line. Luckily, found a hidden creek along a jogging trail. Small creek, lots of brush, and tight access... Tenkara Rod worked great. Too bad, there were only little Panfish to catch. No worries... it is still fishing! Even more, Purple Damsel Fly worked while on the road, too.

Rooster Tail Works Again!

Evening trip to Bethany to closeout this TGIF! Caught mainly Bass but did get a nice Catfish that went well over 16" in length (estimate about 19"; ruler in the photo is 16" long). Funny thing... caught it on the same Rooster Tail we used earlier today - Chartreuse Rooster Tail. Given the Catfish meets the minimum 15" to post on 2011's COAF Fishing Leader Board, submitted a picture to the Board.

Bethany At Lunch Today

Fished Bethany at lunch time today!  Really hot weather, glad the Bass were cooperating.  Caught four but only able to take a picture of three.  One flopped back in the water soon after landing it.  Used a different Ultralight Rod - same one used for Trout Fishing, just changed out the line with Spiderwire and then used a Rooster Tail that had a chartreuse blade.

Late Start... Rooster Tail Continues to Produce!

Late start this evening but made it to Bethany Lakes.  Went with the Ultralight Gear again and tied on a larger sized Rooster Tail.  Gained more distance, had a number of strikes, landed a few, and hooked but lost a few more.

Sidetracked by Catfish at Bethany!

Headed out to Bethany after work this evening.  Was targeting Bass but was sidetracked by Catfish feeding on Bread that someone had left for the Ducks!  Saw some Bruisers in the shallows.  So baited up a hook with Bread and caught a few Catfish. Largest went about 18" in size!

Bethany Still Going Strong!

Fished Bethany again this evening. Had steady strikes on the Chartreuse Rooster Tail. Did catch one little Bass on the Curly Tail Roadrunner. Also, met a fellow Metal Detector Enthusiast and Fisherman, who was catching Bass on Jigs. Looks like Jigs continue to produce as well!

Chartreuse Rooster Tail Keeps On Catching!

Another evening outing to Bethany Lakes. Being Monday, had music from the Summer Series Concert playing in the background. Also, had a Memorial Day fireworks display at the end of the concert. A lot of people were enjoying the Concert. Also, a lot fishermen were working the ponds, including this one.

Was able to restock the tackle box with Roadrunners and Tube Jigs from Cabelas. Also, switched out the fishing line on the Ultralight. Went from 4 lbs Stren Monofilament to 15 lbs Spiderwire Line (4 lbs diameter); want to be ready for that Bruiser!

However, no Bruisers this round. Just the usual suspects. All of which were caught on the Chartreuse Rooster Tail!
