Two More Bullheads and a Straightened Hook!

Been having fun fishing with the Method Feeder.  This round mixed up a batch of "boilie mix" to go with the Method Feeder and Hair Rig.  Fun stuff,... caught two more Bullheads at Celebration Park, then had a fish straighten the hook.  Same hook we used to catch Catfish up to 20" in size.  So, this one has us wondering what is lurking in the pond!

Method Feeders Arrived from Big Carp Tackle!

Package arrived from Big Carp Tackle today!  Had the Method Feeders we had ordered late last week.  Even got a free Carp Fishing DVD with the order.  Really like the fast shipping and service!  Now time to put up the Homemade Method Feeder and try the commercial offerings!

PS: Made it out to Celebration Park to try the Korda Method Feeder.  Worked nicely; caught two Bullheads.  No Bruisers, regardless was a lot of fun trying out new fishing technique!  Really liking it because of its ability to chum the area immediately around the bait.

Weather Clears,... Caught Two Catfish at Celebration Park!

Weather cleared up, made a break for Celebration Park. Tested out the homemade Method Feeder and a new Doughbait recipe. Caught two Catfish. One went 17" and the other went 19.5"! Fun stuff catching fish while tinkering with other fishing techniques. PS: Not only was the Method Feeder homemade, so was the Baiting Needle and the Strike Indicator.

Foam Divers....

Still raining this morning, so no fishing yet.  Did finish two of the Foam Divers we were working on yesterday.  Tied one with a Red Head and Olive Body and the other with a Black Head and Purple Body.  Hope to try it out again when the weather clears and the temps warm up.

Till then, we wait....

Rain Delay....

Had a late start this morning, so by the time it was time to go fishing the rain arrived.  Ended up taking care of a few "honey do's" but more important did some tinkering with fishing related things!

Made a few more Foam Divers, made a "homemade method feeder" for Carp Fishing, tried a new way to make a Hair Rig, created a new recipe for a Dough Bait for Carp and Goldfish, stopped at Cabelas and picked up some flytying material (at 30% off), and then rigged up the "homemade method feeder" with the Hair Rig!

Now once the rain stops, hope to see what bites on the Dough Bait using the "homemade method feeder" and Hair Rig!

PS:  Did place an order with Bass Pro Shops for a Carp Rod and Big Carp Tackle for Method Feeders.  Hope the packages arrive in the next week.  Going to try having some fun with a fe Carp and Koi in the area,.. we hope!

Foam Diver Gets Two More Bass at Bethany!

Short on time; had to make do with a quick trip to Bethany this round.  Stuck with the Red/White Foam Diver like we used in yesterday.  Much calmer today; caught two Bass.  No Bruisers but did spy a couple in the shallows... that did not want a fishing fly!

Two Bass Went for a Foam Diver!

Went back to Bethany this evening to try out a Foam Diver and a Soft Hackle Dry Fly.  Too windy for the Dry Fly, so stuck with the Foam Diver.  Had a couple of strikes on a fast retrieve, then hooked and landed two Bass.  Kept at it despite the windy conditions... had two more strikes but failed to hook up.  Good Stuff!

Flyfishing At Bethany This Evening....

Went with the flyrod this round for some flyfishing at Bethany this evening.  Caught a Bass on an Olive and White Damsel Fly, had another take it but did not set the hook in time.  Then, caught two Bass and a Bluegill using a Dry Fly!  Missed more while the fish were hitting on the surface as the bugs lay on the water.  Fun stuff!

Five Sunfish and a Catfish on Bread and a Hair Rig!

Been testing the Hair Rig out these past few weeks.  This round gave it a try at Celebration Park's North Pond.  Caught five Sunfish and a Catfish that went 16".  Posted the Catfish on the COAF Leader Board as it made the 15" minimum.  Really liking the Hair Rig; getting hookups that are on the lips and not in the throat!  Makes for a better catch and release!

Limit Taken at Towne Lake but....

Fished the latter part of this morning for Trout at Towne Lake.  Caught a limit in about two hours.  Had steady action, just a lot slower than it was last week.  Even worse, the Cormorant have shown, so the bite may get even slower.  All were caught using Rainbow Glitter Powerbait!
