Another Round at Bethany; Gets a Nice Catfish....

Another round at Bethany using Senkos.  Gotta surprise catching a 22" Catfish in the Canal! Another Catfish makes the Fishing Bulletin Board! Then, it was steady action catching Bass. Bass were either striking on the initial drop or taking the Senko on a slow drag along the bottom.  Caught six Bass this round. Fun stuff!

Pattern Change... Senkos

Started out fishing inline spinners; had a couple of strikes but did not hook up.  Switched to a Senko and worked it slowly; got a few more strikes and misses before finally hooking up.  Two Bass this morning!

Inline Spinner Does Well, then Bread Gets a Catfish!

Fished Bethany this morning before the rain arrived.  Caught Bass and a Sunfish using inline spinners.  No Bruisers but was good to see the Bass were active.  Then, noticed something feeding on the surface on Bread.  Switched to Bread and freelined it.  Ended up catching a 20" Catfish! This one makes the Fishing Bulletin Board. Fun stuff!

Crankbait This Round

Went with a Crankbait this round.  Caught one Bass and missed another, else it was slow go. Better to stick with Inline Spinners right now to mimic the baitfish the Bass are feeding on. Still a fun time, especially with the cooler temps!

Inline Spinner Did Well This Round

Checked out previous blog posts for September and noticed Inline Spinners and Spinnerbaits seemed to work well for the month.  Decided on using an Inline Spinner this round; caught six Bass, one Sunfish, and one Catfish.  The Catfish went 16" in length!  This one gets posted on the Fishing Bulletin Board.  Fun stuff... posted a video but for some reason could not keep track of the number of Bass caught.  Rechecked the videos; it's six Bass.

More Fun on the Fly at Bethany Lakes

Decided to give Bethany Lakes a try this morning.  With the recent rains, water level is up!  Took a Four Weight Fly Rod and Streamer Variants and worked the Main Pond, Lower Pond, and the Canal.  Struck out in the Lower Pond.  Did get three Bass in the Main Pond.  And, hooked a nice Catfish in the Canal that put a good strain on the Fly Rod.  But, it threw the hook so was not able to get a good picture of it.  Luckily, was able to get video before losing it!  Fun stuff!

Fishing on the Fly at Celebration

Checked out the North Pond at Celebration Park yesterday.  Noticed a lot of fish activity the day before, so decided to try a Streamer and a Dry Fly.  Caught a few Sunfish and Bluegill on the Streamer; caught more on the Dry Fly!  Lost count but would say 30+ were caught and released.  No Bruisers but still a lot of fun!

Fly Fished Bethany This Round

Fished Bethany this evening using Fly Fishing Gear and a Streamer Variant.  Caught several Bass, little Sunfish, and a Bluegill.  Water level is low.  Also, found out that Lake Lavon has only one public boat ramp open - Little Ridge Park.  Looks like kayak fishing and trot lining are on hold for now.  Hope rain comes soon!

Crappie Jigs This Round

Went to Bethany this morning.  Started out with a Crappie Jig and Trout Magnet on a tandem rig.  Noticed the fish were going for the Crappie Jig, so switched to just a Crappie Jig.  Caught several using a steady retrieve, then noticed the Bass were chasing bait fish in the shallows; started going with a fast retrieve and caught more.  Later noticed the Bass were going for the bait fish balling up along a deeper section of the Main Pond, so started dropping the jig where the bait fish were balling up and caught a few more Bass.  Lots of fun. No Bruisers but still a great time!
