PS: Davis Library Pond - July 27, 2008

PS: Fished the pond behind Davis Library in Plano. Used Bread in hopes of hooking Tilipia. No luck. Saw them swimming around but did not look interested in my bait. Have to try another means to get them to bite.

Bethany Lakes - Catfish in the AM.

Fished Bethany Lakes Main Pond this morning around 8:30AM. Used Bread Bait and chummed with the Dough Bait. Caught one 19" Catfish and had several other strikes but no hook-ups. Best guess based on the last few outings is to fish for Catfish in the early evening. Picture posted below.

Bethany Lakes - Catfish Fishing Video Clip

Fished Bethany Lakes this afternoon to capture video of the Catfish fishing in the Main Pond. Action was slower than our last trip.

Bethany Lakes' Catfish - July 20, 2008

Fished Bethany Lakes' Main Pond this afternoon for Catfish using both Bread and homemade Dough Bait. Good outing with success on both baits; however, liked the Dough Bait over Bread because it stayed on the hook better. Caught several Catfish ranging from 15" to 24" in size. Largest weighed in at about 5 lbs. Not bad for a quick trip to a community lake. Pictures posted below (tape measure is 19" long).
