Back to the Coast - July 13, 2013!

Made it to the Coast again.  This time went to Port Aransas. Caught some Ghost Shrimp and then a little fish!  Really nice day with a fair amount of people enjoying the beach.

Another Go at the Power Plant

Decided to fish the Power Plant this evening.  Was not as good as yesterday morning. Worked the discharge area without a strike.  After a while, decided to get a workout and trolled the area.  Got a decent workout but only had one fish strike.  Was not a Keeper but at least we did not strike out!

Power Plant This Round

Fished the Power Plant this round by Little Ridge Park on Lake Lavon; no Keepers but did get a few to take a Slab or a Crappier Jig!  Also, saw others doing well with fish caught on almost every cast!  Next round, going to bring an anchor and setup closer but well outside the restricted area.

Lavonia Park and Little Ridge Park This Round

Decided to fish the bank at Lake Lavon this round.  Went to Lavonia Park and setup our gear. Had several light nibbles using nightcrawlers but only managed one fish - a Gaspergou.  Too bad we did not have "boat" repellent; had two boats float over our fishing spot.  After a while without a bite, decided to head up the road to scout at Little Ridge Park.  Saw the Power Plant was generating; may need to bring the kayaks next round!

Clear Lake Yesterday and then Today

Checked out Clear Lake Park Wednesday evening to test the fish finder.  Was able to get an understanding of the area's water depth; also caught several undersized White Bass.  And then, checked it out again Thursday morning.  Used a short cut to get to the South side; worked the area and managed to get two Keepers!  This round went with a Slab and Crappie Jig Rig. Fish were lurking well below the surface.

Underwater Video Test Run

Made an underwater camera housing for the video camera.  Decided to give it a try and capture trolling an umbrella rig.  Went to Clear Lake Park on Lake Lavon yesterday and gave it a test run.  Was windy and the water was murky; really tough to see anything.  Did capture some video; also, we did get a Gaspergou so we did not strike out completely.  Will give it another try later.

Windy Morning... Caught Two Gaspergou.

Windy morning; decided to try Ticky Creek.  Fished the leeward side and started working the area.  Slower action but did manage two Gaspergou using a Tandem Rig - White Roadrunner and Chartreuse Crappie Jig.  No video; just a picture.

Fished the Point for White Bass!

Kayak fished the point by the free boat ramp south of Lavonia Park.  Trolled tandem Crappie Jigs - one Red/White and one Chartreuse.  Caught twenty White Bass, missed others, and kept five that were Keepers.  Largest went 14" in size.  Steady action with most striking while making a wide slow turn when changing direction.  Fun stuff and even gotta a workout in!

Back To Bethany This Evening

Fished Bethany this evening.  Used a fly rod and caught bluegill and bass using an Elk Hair Caddis Fly and and Olive Wooley Bugger.  Steady action despite the 100+ Temps; even had a Bruiser break the line.  Till next time... Good luck and good fishing!

More Kayak Fishing at Clear Lake Park!

Returned to Clear Lake Park on Lake Lavon.  Fished with the kayak and trolled crappie jigs. Managed three undersized White Bass; no Keepers this round.  Did get a few hard strikes but could not set the hook in time.  Till next time... Good Luck and Good Fishing!
