Topwater This Time

Fished Bethany yesterday evening.  Went with a Jitterbug and an old Abu Garcia 5000 Reel.  Managed to get three Bass to take; did lose several others that threw the lure.  Liking the topwater action!  Short video of the fish; no action shots this time.  PS: Tried a Heddon Torpedo; no hits on it.  Looks like the  Bass liked the slow steady wobble of the Jitterbug!

Surfcasting without the Surf at Ticky Creek!

Decided to checkout Lake Lavon at Ticky Creek.  Brought surfcasting gear and used an old Newell Reel that had been gathering dust for a while.  Got some good casting practice in, backlashes and all.  Even managed to get a couple of White Bass to strike!  Fun stuff!

Went with Ultralight Gear This Time... and a Roadrunner Jig Variant

Fished with the Ultralight this evening at Bethany.  Used a variation of the Roadrunner Jig and a Rapala Minnow.  Was a tough go with all the algae growing along the shallows but did manage to keep the lures clear enough to get a few strikes.Caught eight Bass with the Roadrunner and one Bass on the Rapala.

The Roadrunner Jig is a standard 1/8 oz Jig Head but we tie it using Purple Marabou, some Krystal Flash, and Red Dacron Thread.  Fun stuff!

Fished Bethany This Morning

Fished Bethany this morning; had a little rain but was not enough to call it quits.  Caught Bass, Sunfish/Bluegill, and a nice Shellcracker using several fishing flies - BH Antron Streamer, Lefty Deceiver, and a Foam Spider.  Edited this morning's video to show a few highlights of the outing; tried a slow-motion feature for a Bass we lost and a Bass we caught!  Fun stuff!

Slower Action This Morning; Did Get a Decent One Though!

Slower action this morning at Bethany Lakes compared to yesterday's nineteen Bass.  Caught four this time; one did go 18" in length!  Posted it on our Team's Fishing Leader Board as it made the 18" minimum.  Fun stuff... used Baitcasting Gear and Senkos to get them!
