Bass On Its Bed at Bethany Gets Caught!

Returned to Bethany after work Friday.  Hoped to get an underwater video shot of Bass on their beds and possibly some footage of a Bass striking.  Managed to get one on camera.  Not a Bruiser but it still counts!  Fun stuff!

More Inline Spinners But... Bass On Their Beds!

Returned to Bethany with inline spinners.  But, could see Bass on their beds.  Had to adjust the retrieve and drag the spinner slow across the bed to get the first one to strike.  Then, switched back to a steady retrieve and caught some little scrappy ones.  Going to switch lures to adjust to the pattern change!

More Inline Spinners at Bethany

Fished the evening bite yesterday.  Caught (lost count but we think) eight Bass.  No Bruisers but still a lot of fun on ultralight gear.  Lost several of our homemade inline spinner to snags; tied on a Rooster Tail and caught Bass; then lost it... tied on another one and caught Bass.  Fun stuff!

Five Bass on Inline Spinners This Round!

Fished Bethany this evening.  Gotta like the extra daylight now that we "sprung our clocks forward"!  Action started out slow; used Red/White Tube Jigs for about 45" without a bite.

Switched to the Purple Wooley Rooster Martin and got a bite soon after.  But, it was another 30" before the next fish struck - Bass #2.  Bass #3 and #4 were caught one right after the other, and then another 15" passed before Bass #5 struck.

Fun stuff!

Headed to Plano East Senior High School's pond this morning.  Fished the Purple Wooley Rooster Martin inline spinner. 

Caught five Bass at the High School, then stopped by Bethany Lakes and caught three more Bass!

Fun stuff... most were caught near the bank; all were caught using Ultralight Gear on 4lbs test.  Largest went 15.5" in size!

Glad to have got a round in before the rain arrived; now we will have to play it by ear as the next cold front arrives.  Anticipate the pattern will changes again!

More Bass at Bethany

Squeezed in a round at Bethany this evening.  Overcast and some rain and wind.  Regardless, Bass were active; hitting the Purple Wooley Rooster Martin!  Caught several, lost one, and missed some strikes as well.  Fun stuff!

Inline Spinners Again This Round

Went back to Bethany Lakes and fished inline spinners again. Colder than yesterday with the front that came in; glad that the wind calmed down.  Managed to catch four Bass!

Inline Spinners....

Decided to fish Inline Spinners this evening at Bethany Lakes.  Started out with our Purple Wooley Rooster Martin; fished it with a steady retrieve.  Managed to catch three Bass before losing it to a Tree Bass.  Switched to an Orange Rooster Tail and caught a scrappy little Bass!  Not bad, lotta fun, able to get a round in before the next cold front arrived!

Trout Magnet

FYI... Here is a picture of the Trout Magnet that worked well for some on the Trout stocked at Prosper's Community Park Pond.  Had stopped at Academy in Plano off of Central; no luck.  Checked out the one in Mckinney; had several in stock!  Bought some to keep in the fishing vest/tackle box... hope to get a chance to try them out before the Trout bite turns cold.

Out and About... Ends with a Limit!

Fished Bethany Lakes Friday evening.  Very cold, would not have been so bad if we could have landed a fish. Had two hookups but lost them soon after!

Next morning, went to Towne Lake in Mckinney.  Still very cold; made worse by the wind.  Fished for an hour and had some strikes using a GRHEN but missed setting the hook.  Did see others catching them on Powerbait!

Decided to checkout the action in Prosper's Community Park.  They hosted a Trout Derby to kick-off the Trout Stocking.  When we arrived, Trout were actively feeding on tiny midges.  Too bad they did not want our fishing flies.

Switched to Powerbait and waited out the bite; started hooking up the around 5PM.  After a long day, limited out!

Did see others doing better, catching them using Bread, Corn, Powerbait, and something called a Trout Magnet!  It was the hot bait today, out fishing all others this round!
