Rainy Day But The Bite Was Good!

Been raining today but saw a break in the weather this afternoon. Tied a fishing fly that we noticed on the Internet.  Was looking for something that imitated the 2" Bait Fish that the Bass are feeding on.  It's a Streamer Variant that we modified using material on hand.

Caught six Bass; lost four others.  These were bigger than the ones we normally have been catching!  Largest one went 18.5".  Weighed 3.5 pounds using the scale that another fisherman let us use!

Really liking this pattern, may need to tie more than one... just in case another "Tree Fish" takes it away.

Slower Action This Round But Did Get a Nice Catfish!

Lost the Lefty Deceiver yesterday.  Tied another one and fished Bethany just before noon before it rained. Ended up losing it after a nice fish struck and broke the line.  Caught a little Bass on a Wooley Bugger on the next cast but decided to head back home and tie another Deceiver.  Made it back to Bethany after the rain passed, slower action but did manage several fish including a nice 20" Catfish that made the Fish Bulletin Board!

Soon after releasing the Catfish, ended up losing the Deceiver to a snag!  Re-tied another one later in the afternoon and returned to Bethany in the evening.  Caught two Bass before calling it quits!  Really liking this fishing fly!

Another Round at Bethany with the Fly Rod!

Went with the fly rod Saturday morning.  Fished the main pond with a Lefty Deceiver and caught four Bass.  Lost the Deceiver to a "Tree Fish"; switched to a Foam Rubber Spider Variant after no luck with a Wooley Bugger.  Caught several more Bass. Fun stuff especially liking the top water action!

Fly Rod This Round!

Brought the five weight fly rod this evening to Bethany.  Used a Guadalupana to get a couple of Sunfish and a Bluegill.  Tried a Foam Grasshopper Variant and had a couple of strikes but missed the hook set.  Switched to a Lefty Deceiver and caught several Bass and a Sunfish! Also, saw one fisherman catch and release a nice looking Catfish caught using bread for bait. Nice Catfish!

A Stick, a Line, and a Fly at Celebration This Round!

Simple fishing this evening catching little Bluegill and Sunfish on a Tenkara Rod.  Used a Tenkara Fly until we lost it to a snag. Switched to a Guadalupana without a break in the action... Fun Stuff!

Six Bass This Afternoon

Too nice a day not to go fishing.  Headed to Bethany this afternoon and caught six Bass - two using 4" Yamasenkos and four using 3" Yamasenkos!  Missed others but who is counting... fun day with cool temps!

Missed One; Caught Two Before the Front Arrived!

Winds were picking up and temps were dropping this morning.  Decided to get a quick trip at Bethany before it rained. Used Senkos and Baitcasting Gear, missing one strike before hooking up with a couple of Bass.  Called the outing short as the rain started.  Fun stuff... gotta love them Senkos!

Another Round... Got Some Action Shots This Time!

Another round at Bethany.  Got some action shots this time.  Did not edit the video as much in order to give viewers an idea how we are fishing the Senkos and Hand Poured Worms. Longer than normal video; still lots of fun catching them!

First Day of October Starts Out Well at Bethany.... Nine Bass This Round!

Fished Bethany this evening.  Went with Baitcasting Gear and Senkos.  Caught several Bass as well as missed a few more.  Action was steady; not a bad outing to mark the first day of October!  No Bruisers but still a lot of fun, catching and releasing nine Bass.  Largest went about 14" in size.  Been having to modify the Senkos by cutting them down an inch.  Ran out of 4" Senkos; only had the 5" ones.  Seem to get more hits on the smaller size Senkos, so it's "pinch and inch" to get more strikes!
