One 9" Bass this morning at Bethany Ridge Park. Caught in the shallows of the main pond on a Yellow Foam Rubber Spider. Did observe Bass in the feeder canal but they were very skittish; need to approach lightly next time. Picture posted below.

Quick Trips - August 9, 2008
Checked out a small pond at Shawnee Park in Plano. Had a couple of strikes on a Streamer but did not connect. Others fishing the morning noted catches of Bluegill. Will have to try again, promising location with cover and a fountain keeping the pond well aerated.

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.
