Tenkara Fishing Still Does Well... Lost a Bruiser Though.

Took the Tenkara Rod to Bethany this evening and caught Bass, Bluegill, and Sunfish using a Foam Rubber Grasshopper, a Purple Damsel Fly, and an Olive Damsel Fly.  Of the three, the Olive Damsel Fly did best.  Worked the shallows and had a number of strikes/misses.  Did hook into a Bruiser Catfish, fought it for several minutes, and then lost it while landing it. Line broke off... hated losing the Bruiser, hated losing the Olive Damsel Fly!!


Tenkara Anyone?

Jitterbug Keeps Working....

Hit Kroger Park and Bethany well after dark.  Caught one Bass and a Frog (second one this year) on a Jitterbug at Kroger Park.  Went across the street to Bethany Lakes.  Caught a Bass, lost a Bruiser, and missed more Bass.  Also, saw a Raccoon working the banks for food.

More Bass This Morning... Buzzbaits Are Working!

More Bass this morning at Bethany Lakes.  A slow retrieve and Buzzbait made it happen with several Bass caught and more missed strikes.  Two were likely Bruisers!  No worries managed to catch a 15" and 16" Bass to keep things interesting.

One More On a Buzzbait Tonight.

Stopped by Bethany this evening while running errands.  Restocked the tackle box with Buzzbaits from Cabela's; had to try one out before heading home.  Caught one Bass on a slow retrieve.  Able to call it a day!

Two Bass At Bethany, One Bass At Kroger Park... On Buzzbaits!

Was not able to test out the trailer hook this morning.  Lost the Buzzbait to a Tree Fish.  Switched to another Buzzbait rigged with a Fluke.  Caught two Bass at Bethany Lakes with the larger one going about 14" in size.  Then, went to Kroger Park and caught one that was less than a foot from the bank.  Went about 16" in size.  Fun morning!

Added a Trailer Hook to the Buzzbait....

Added a trailer hook to the Buzzbait in hopes of hooking up more on short striking Bass.  Went to Bethany Lakes to test it out.  Caught two Bass and missed four others.  Going to have to keep testing this out,... just to make sure that it does work!

Buzzbaits Do It Again!

Went to Kroger Park and caught a Bass on a Buzzbait this evening.  Then, went across the street to Bethany and caught a Bass (went about 15" in size) on a Buzzbait as well!  Had several more strikes but just could not set the hook in time.  May need to add a trailer hook to increase the hooksets.  Regardless, the two Bass caught this evening were larger than the others we caught on Ultralight Gear....
