Yesterday, we struck out at Denison Dam but mentioned kayak fishing and juglining as a backup plan. Did well… with Catfish caught. Dinner Shrimp Etouffee over rice and Blackened Catfish!
Tasty! Will get a trip video out later this week; do check back!
BFS fishing the local pond. Started with a popper but switched to a Rooster Tail and had fun catching Bass.
Shimano Scorpion 17 BFS-XG reel still rocks with the Bass Pro Shops Microlite Fiberglass rod!
While on the road a couple weeks ago, stopped in New Braunfels, Texas and fished the Guadalupe River at the River Access Park.
Opted for the Tenkara Rod as we were on the road and keeping things light. Worked out well, was able to get a quick trip in!
Caught little guys… looked like longear but did get sidetracked when I noticed a lingerie photo shoot was happening downriver.
Took a stroll downriver of course to scout the river for fish… wink, wink, wink!
Making preparations for kayak fishing and juglining. Had to fix my juglines to make them legal in Texas. Rules require juglines to be at least 3″ wide and 6″ long. Good to go now!
While at it, replaced the Name and Address Label with a Customer ID Label. Liking it much better than the old rules!
Sunday morning decided on Tenkara Fishing a local pond. Bass were spawning but none of the Bruisers wanted to play. Caught Bluegill and little Bass for a fun round fishing!
Sunday morning had fun Tenkara Fishing the local pond.
Getting ready for the warm weather fishing season. Time to start the Suzuki 2.5hp Outboard motor. After several pulls and a warm up period, starts with one pull! Just need to clean up the jon boat and rig jug lines, should be ready for the season!
Here is a video short of yours truly trying to catch a trout or two after figuring out the pattern. Trout were wanting no retrieve, minimal movement... or a long pull and then hold while the fly sank. Used a Pat's Near Deere, and then a Pat's Rubber Legs.
Here is a simple but effective pattern to try... possibly for the first time fly tyer! Uses bead chain eyes and two plumes of marabou. Worked for Bass and Bluegill at the local pond!
Left the Senkos at home while out and about. Fishing with BFS Gear - Shimano Scorpion 17, Bass Pro Shops Micro Lite Rod, and Rooster Tails.
Saw bass cruising the shallows, had several strikes and lots of misses. Did run into a school of little Bass that just did not want to commit to striking the Rooster Tail.
Luckily, water was clear and I could see them react to my lure... so, tried this to get them to strike. It worked, except I still need to work on my landing technique!
Check out the video!
