Caught Three This Round at Celebration!

Went back to Celebration Park for more Catfish fishing using Bread for bait.  Used a syringe to pack the bread into compact, bait sized pieces to put on the hook.  Managed to catch and release three Catfish - two were Bruisers that went 18" and 23" in size!  Fun stuff... Bubble Float seems to be working!

One Bruiser at Celebration!

Tested out a bait recipe for our Trot Line at Celebration Park's East Pond.  Need to work on it a little more.  Did manage to catch a Bruiser that went 24" in length using Bread for bait!  Fun stuff!

Ivory Soap Catfish Bait?

Wanting for a bait that was both easy to rig on a hook and economical, brewed a batch of Ivory Soap Catfish Bait!  Has a mix of this and that and for under $5.00 have enough to bait up 50 plus hooks!  The question now is will the Catfish like it?  Will have to try some field testing before we make a ruling on this recipe!

More Than One This Round

Set two Trot Lines out last night.  Had only caught one Catfish last round.  This time caught five Catfish - three we kept for Dinner and two that we released because they were too small.  Used Shrimp and Chicken Livers for bait.  The Shrimp seemed to work better than the Chicken Livers.  Better to have gone with Shad for bait but had a tough time catching them in our cast net.  After picking up the Trot Lines, did a little Jug Lining; had a hit or two but no hookups.  Oh well, have enough fillets for Dinner.  Courtesy of the largest of the three Catfish we caught; measured 22" in length!

Only One This Round...

Set out a Trot Line this afternoon.  Checked it after soaking for 2 hours.  Caught only one Catfish.  Let it go as it was small.  Re-baited the hooks, and then set out another Trot Line.  Hoping for a Bruiser when we check them again!

Bethany Lakes This Evening!

Fished Bethany this evening.  Been a tough go Jug Lining these past few days.  Going to try it again possibly this weekend.  For now, enjoyed catching a few scrappy Bluegill and Sunfish on the Tenkara Rod!

Jug Lining at Brockdale Park

Went to Brockdale Park this evening and set out Jug Lines.  Let them soak for about 2 hours; had a few light hits but no hookups.  Used Chicken Liver that tended not to stay on the hook.  Although a bust, was still fun taking the kayak out and "fishing".... Sure beats working!

Jug Line Fishing

Here is a new HubPages Article courtesy of the COAF Field Team!  It's titled, "Jug Line Fishing".  

Short article about jug line fishing - a fishing method that uses a float, line, and hook(s) and some cases weights. Includes favorite videos that provide details on various ways to construct a jug line! Good luck and good fishing!

Good Luck and Good Fishing!

PS:  Was not able to go Jug Lining today.  Was able to hit Kroger Park this evening.  Caught one Bass on a Deer Hair Popper!

Jug Lining a Bust....

Went jug lining at the local lake.  Used the Kayak instead of the Jon Boat.  Things started out well but the wind kicked up and a rain storm hit, so had to call it quits early.  Better luck next round!

More Little Bluegill!

More little Bluegill caught using the Tenkara Rod.  Little feeder creek with clear water and very shallow, made for some fun action using an Unweighted Antron Nymph!

Bluegills at Kroger Park, Again!

Braved the heat of the day and went fishing for Bluegill at Kroger Park.  Lotta fun catching them.  Did lose several Bass, so it's all Bluegill footage with one nice sized one to end the video clip!

Catching Bait Fish with a Minnow Trap.

Dug out the old Minnow Trap from the garage in hopes of catching bait for jug lining.  Caught a few, soaking the trap for about 30".  Looks like we will need to let it go longer next round!

Yesterday's Catch for Dinner Tonight!

No fishing tonight.  But, cooked up yesterday's catch for dinner tonight.  Went with the Beer Batter Fish Fry recipe we liked (came from Kayak Angler Magazine) and, since we did not limit out, cooked up some Sausage as well!  Yum, yum, yum!

Back to Denison Dam Tailrace, Again!

Fished Denison Dam today.  Brought some shade and started early.  Stayed till the power plant began generating, then headed home.  Other than a short rain shower, sun was out in force.  Shade made a difference in being able to fish longer.  Too bad we did not get any Bruisers but did have steady action on Stripers, even caught and released a Gaspergou, an undersized Flathead Catfish, and a little Bluecat.  Fun stuff!

Slower Action This Round.

Went back to Bethany this evening.  Slower action than yesterday.  May be the heat affecting the bite... no worries. Still had a lot of fun!

One Fly, One Hour, Nineteen Fish... Fun Stuff!

Only had an hour to fish this evening.  So, headed to Bethany Lakes to fish the Lower Pond by the Recreation Center.  Instead of fishing a Foam Rubber Spider Variant, we used a fishing fly pattern we found on the Internet.  It's the Bully's Bluegill Spider.


We tied it as detailed in their video with one variation we used Antron Dubbing instead of Chenille for the body. Looks like it worked well on the Bluegill given we caught nineteen fish in the hour we allotted ourselves this trip!  Follows is a short slideshow of today's catch!

PS:  Here is the video of the instructions for tying the Bully's Bluegill Spider!

Bethany Creek, Then Bethany Lakes

Short video clip of today's outing.  Fished Bethany Creek's pond and caught a Bass on a Foam Rubber Spider Variant.  Hit the fishing fly hard while it sat motionless on the surface.


Then, went down the road to Bethany Lakes to fish the Lower Pond by the Recreation Center.  Caught a few Bluegill just before dark.  Fish kept hitting well after sunset as well.


Fun Stuff!

PS:  Been asked what fishing fly we are using.  We call it a Foam Rubber Spider Variant.  Very easy fishing fly to tie.  Here is a video of instructions on how we tie them.

Bluegill and a Bass at Kroger Park

Late start today,.... Went to Kroger Park again after tying another Foam Spider Variant.  Caught several Bluegill, then lost the fishing fly to a snag.  Went with a Guadalupana and had zero strikes until a little Bass hit it as it got dark.  No Bruisers but still beats working!

Two Sunfish Tonight at Bethany

Went to Bethany to listen to the Summer Sounds Concert... last one this season!  While there, had to fish of course.  Looks like the Summer pattern is here - no bites till well after 7PM.  Two missed strikes on Bass, several missed strikes on Bluegill, and then finally hooked a couple of Sunfish.  Good stuff!
