Kroger Park and Bluegills

Fished Kroger Park this evening.  Brought one fishing fly - a Guadalupana.  Caught a few Bluegill with a Bruiser or two mixed in the bunch! Then, checked out the fish fry that the Bass were feeding on.  Going to need to tie some Damsel Flies for the next round. Lots of fun.

Only Two This Round....

Went back to the Point at Ticky Creek (Lake Lavon).  Windy conditions but still fun casting for distance.  Managed only two this round - undersized White Bass.  No Keepers today!  Continued to use the Sinker and Jig Rig and a Carp Rod.   Really liking the distance we get using this setup.

Deer Hair Popper Gets a Bass

Was able to fish Bethany this evening.  Went with one fishing fly - a Deer Hair Popper. Fished for about an hour with no strikes.  Wind made things rough but kept at it.  Finally, had one take the fishing fly.  Not bad after no fishing these last few days.

Struck Out This Evening....

Went back to Ticky Creek and struck out this evening.  Did get one strike at the Sinker and Jig Rig.  But, did not hook it.  Still had a great time casting for distance with the BFS Black Phantom Carp Rod!

Ticky Creek Again!

Was able to fish the BFS Black Phantom Carp Rod we ordered from Big Carp Tackle this evening.  Used a Sinker and Jig Rig and a Roadrunner for the jig and was able to cast for distance!  Caught more than one this round compared to the other day.  No Keepers but still was fun.  Really liking the Carp Rod.... works like a champ when casting from the shore!

Clouser Gets a Bass at Bethany

Stopped by Bethany at Lunch today.  Went with Fly Fishing Gear and used a Red/White Clouser Minnow.  Water remains clear, fished for about 30" with one Bass caught and released.  With the one White Bass yesterday at Tickey Creek, and then the one Bass at Bethany today, hoping this is not the trend,... will see next round!

PS:  Package arrived via Fedex!  It was the order we placed with Big Carp Tackle in Oklahoma.  Ordered Sunday, shipped Monday, arrived Wednesday,  fast and convenient.  The BFS Black Phantom Carp Rods are looking like fish catchers.  Hope to try them out soon.  Liking the freebies that came with the Order, too!

Only One White Bass This Time

Ran up the road to a Ticky Creek Park on Lake Lavon.  Short on time but not enthusiasm, brought a Carp Rod and used it to "surf cast" from the lake's shore.  When the White Bass are active, can really have fun catching them on a Float and Jig Rig.  In today's case, only caught one White Bass.  So, it's a short video this time!

One Sunfish This Round

Windy day,... decided to take quick trip to Bethany this afternoon.  Had a few little Bluegill go for a Purple Grasshopper Variant but too small to hook up.  Then, had a Sunfish finally connect.  One Sunfish this round.  Till next time!

PS:  Placed an order with Big Carp Tackle in Oklahoma.  Have ordered from them in the past with excellent service and fast shipping.  This time ordered two BFS Black Phantom Rod MK II "Carp Classic" rods.  Liked how the MadDragon Carp Rod we bought from Bass Pro Shops casts when fishing Denison Dam.  Wanted to see if the Black Phantom would do as well - especially since we could get two Black Phantoms from Big Carp Tackle for the price of one MadDragon from Bass Pro Shops.

Slow Morning, Clear Water

Was a slow morning at Bethany.  Water was really clear and the fish were selective.  Had one Bass on the line but came off while landing it near the bank.  Then, had several Bass look and turn away at the last moment.  Finally, had two Sunfish take a Guadalupana,

Another Go at Denison Dam Tailrace

Another fishing trip Saturday to Denison Dam.  No generation, so minimal water flow.  Fished a pool downstream and enjoyed steady action.  Like other trips, Shad seemed to be the bait of choice!
