Just a Cloud... Struck Out This Round

Checked out Lake Lavon this morning by Little Ridge Park.  Had a little rain but was just a cloud passing by.  Wind was brutal though. Worse... struck out with no fish caught.  Oh well, better luck next time!

Lake level remains low; saw several areas that we liked to fish in the past closed due to low water. So, maybe it won't be just  a cloud passing by next time!

Podcast - June 27, 2014 Weekly Fishing Summary

Hi All -
We tried this several years ago... posting Podcasts on the blog. Worked well until our host discontinued the service.  That said, we found another means for posting them.  Here is one that recaps the past week. Do stay tuned for more... we hope!



Note: Mentioned Ticky Creek Park Pond in the Podcasts; it is actually Ticky Creek Park on Lake Lavon.

Windy and Waves This Round

Headed to Ticky Creek Park for more kayak fishing. Boat ramp was closed but not an issue with the kayak. Launched from the beach without an issue. Windy though and water was rough. Had a tough time hooking up. Did get a Yellow Bass and a White Bass after getting a good workout in! Both went for Crappie Jigs.

Beer Batter Fish Fry Recipe

Here is a new article from HubPages - "Recipe - Beer Batter Fish Fry" for anyone interested in trying it on their next fish fry! We have tried it with Catfish, Striped Bass, and most recently White Bass.  Makes for a tasty meal; give it a try when you get a chance!

Elk Hair Caddis This Time

Started out fishing a Grasshopper, then switched to a Foam Damsel Fly as well as a Tube Popper Fly and a Balsa Popper Fly. Had strikes but just were not hooking them. Went to an Elk Hair Caddis in Size 14 and started hooking up with Bass and Bluegill!  Fun stuff, even had some good tunes in the background from the Summer Sounds Concert that the City hosts.

Yesterday's Catch for a Beer Batter Fish Fry!

Cleaned the White Bass that we caught kayak fishing yesterday. Took the extra step and removed the "red meat" from the fillets, and then cooked them using a Beer Batter Fish Fry recipe that we got from a kayak fishing magazine.  Made some changes here and there to the original recipe for the batter and the tartar sauce. Had a tasty meal this evening! Check out today's video and the recipe video below!

Another Round... Foam Grasshopper Worked Well

Fished Bethany this evening. Started out fishing the Red and White Tube Fly that we used yesterday while kayak fishing. Had a strike and a miss, and then a hook up with a Bass.  Then, after no takes for a while, switched to a White Foam Grasshopper in Size 12.  Managed catching a couple more Bass, then lucked into a bed of Bluegill.  Caught a number of them, then switched to a Green Foam Grasshopper in Size 10.  Was able to catch a couple more Bass that went about 13", and then closed the round with one last Bluegill!  Fun stuff!

Kayaking for White Bass this Round

Hit Lake Lavon at Little Ridge Park this morning.  Took kayaks out this time and did some kayak trolling. Managed to catch a few White Bass.  Only six were Keepers but still had a good time and a good workout!

Used a Red and White Tube Fishing Fly, a Red and Chartreuse Crappie Jig, and a Chartreuse Slab.  Caught most on the Red and White Tube Fishing Fly!

Another Round with a Balsa Popper Fly

Another round with a Balsa Popper Fly this evening at Bethany Lakes.  Caught six Bass, there was a Bass #7 but it came off the hook, and then out my hands when I picked up.  It got away! Had a fun time, liking the jig hook on the popper fly!

Balsa Popper Fly This Round

Made it out this evening to try the Balsa Popper Flies tied using jig hooks. Caught a few, missed a few, even lost a Balsa Popper Fly. Popper was easier to "pop" with the jig hook and the movement was erratic like a wounded bait fish! Also, used an airbrush to paint the popper bodies this time; much better paint job then the paint brush!
