Only One Bass This Round

Short on time; only one Bass this time at Bethany yesterday.  Did miss two others.  Since only one Bass, decided to post a video in HD.

Slower Bite; Three Bass This Round

Went back to Bethany for another round.  Brought Spinning Gear and Senkos. Slower bite but did get three Bass.  Tried a Carolina Rig but quickly went back to the Weightless Texas Rig. No Bruisers; still a lot of fun... sure beats work any day!

Six Bass at Bethany This Time!

Returned to Bethany for another round.  Same setup as yesterday - Bait Casting Rod and Senkos.  Caught six Bass - three on a Watermelon Senko and three on a Purple Senko! 

Brought the Go Pro this time, so got a few action shots this time.  Bass were taking the worm but had to use a slow retrieve at first.  Things did pick up later when the Bass started feeding on the surface on something; in that case, a faster retrieve seemed to work.

Bass at Bethany This Round

Windy day but nice temps; gave it a shot at Bethany this afternoon.  Went with a Baitcasting Rod and Senkos.  Managed to miss a few as well as hook a few.  No Bruisers but still lots of fun! No action shots but did get some video.  Miscounted the Bass; thought it was seven but it turned out to be eight!

Catfish and Bullheads on Bread!

Enjoying the later sunset since the time change this past weekend. Been tough getting a round in fishing but did manage to get out for a quick trip to Celebration Park's East Pond.

Fished with Bread and free-lined it using Spinning Gear.  Also, brought the hook setter we bought a couple of years or so ago. Was able to catch a Bullhead and a Catfish with the hook setter and another Bullhead without it.

The Bullheads went about 12" in size with big tummies probably from all the Bread in the water. The Catfish was a Bruiser, estimating ~22" in size!  This one makes the Fish Bulletin Board!

Little Bluegill and Sunfish on Midges this Round!

Fished Bethany Lakes this afternoon; really nice day with warmer temps compared to yesterday.

Was hoping for Bass this round; ended with little Bluegill and Sunfish using Midges.  Really little guys but with a Size 20 Midge was able to catch and release a few!

Not a bad day to spend on a warm, sunny day!

One Bass, One Catfish

Fished a Senko this morning at Bethany.  Had a strike and a miss, then a strike and a hook-up, and a strike and another miss!  One Bass on the Senko was the result.

Then, switched to Bread; caught a Catfish that went about 16" in size.  Took about 15" for the bite; tried one more cast using Bread.  No more hook-ups, so called it a morning.

Still a lot of fun.  Was good to see Senkos and Bread are working!

One On a Grasshopper!

Went to the Bethany this afternoon.  Brought the Four Weight and a Foam Rubber Grasshopper we tied the other day.  Windy conditions and a little warmer;  was looking for some top water action.  Had one taker... a little Bass!  Not a bad start to the upcoming Spring.

Missed Hook Ups This Round

Fished Bethany Lakes this evening.  Used a four weight fly rod and a jig fishing fly. Three misses this round; one was a Bass.  The other two we could not tell but one felt like a Bruiser. Tough go this round!  Here is the video of one of the missed fish.

A Sunfish, a Little Catfish, and a Green LED Fishing Light Field Test

Fished Murphy City Hall Pond for Trout.  Ended up breaking off the last Size 12 COAF Guadalupana in the fly box.  Had been a consistent producer for Trout.  Gonna have to tie more and refill the fly box.

Switched to a Prince Nymph and struck out, then switched to Bread and started getting some strikes but no hook ups. Had brought a Bread Fly in hopes of hooking a fish with it.  Ended up catching a Sunfish and a little Catfish on Bread.

Did get a chance to test out the 6v Green LED Fishing Light.  Worked great; still working on the 9v version of it.  Circuit board is done; just need to get the PVC body completed.

Cold evening but still a lot of fun!
