30" Quick Trip This Afternoon

Fished Bethany this afternoon.  Went with the Trout Magnet and the Ultralight this time.  Caught mainly little Sunfish, a Bluegill, and two Bass.  One Bass was about fingerling size; the other went about 13".  Fun stuff... did notice that most were striking at the end of the retrieve.

Caught a Few; Missed a Few....

Only One Keeper This Morning!

Fished Clear Lake this morning with the kayak.  Tried drifting for Catfish with Shad; had two nibbles but no hook ups.  Switched to a Slab and Jig Rig and had one take but failed to set the hook well.

Kept at it; a White Bass struck but was not a Keeper. Went another 30"; another struck.  It was a Keeper.  Only two White Bass this round with only one Keeper. Still a fun time!

Bethany This Round... Mini-Jigs Again!

Made it to Bethany this evening.  Rained this morning briefly; not enough to restore the water level.  Still low but the fish were biting.  Things started out slow but managed to catch Bass, Bluegill, Sunfish, and even a Catfish!  Fun stuff!

Cast Net... for Shad

Went to Clear Lake Park at Lavon yesterday.  Rain was looming in the distance, decided to bring the cast net and catch some Shad for bait.  Found that one of the two boat ramps was closed.  Luckily, the other remained open, so we were able to cast our net and catch a few Shad before we called it a trip!

Kayak Trolling This Morning!

Went kayak fishing this morning.  Was planning to launch from the free boat ramp nearest the dam.  Road was closed. Luckily, had the COE Annual Pass, so went to Lavonia Park and put in from the Day Use Area.

Paddled out to the Point we like to fish and began working the area... trolling a Slab and Crappie Jig Rig as well as casting to boils!

Caught two Yellow Bass and a number of White Bass with three Keepers.  Fish for Dinner tonight!

Mini-Jigs Again This Morning!

Went to Bethany Lakes this morning with mini-jigs and an ultralight again.  Caught a couple of Bass and Sunfish/Bluegill.  Ended the outing with several Fingerling Bass. Been noticing surface activity yesterday and this morning; could not get them to take a lure until this round. Turned out to be the Fingerling Bass making all the splashing!

Mini-Jigs This Round at Bethany!

Been a little while since we fished Bethany Lakes.  Made it this evening luckily.  First thing that caught our eye was the low water level.  Can see Cypress knees and bare ground that was once underwater not too long ago.

Brought the Ultralight this round and started fishing Senkos. Had several bites but could quickly tell they were small ones.  Switched to a Pink Trout Magnet - a mini-jig that works well on small fish.

First fish was a little Bass caught in the Lower Pond, and then it was Sunfish in the Canal. Later, moved to the pier in the Horseshoe Pond and had a few light strikes before hooking into a Bluegill lurking deep.

Then, decided to cast parallel to the pier and work the lure slowly back to where we were positioned.  Managed to hook into a decent Bass that went 15" in size.

Fun stuff!
