Slow Go This Round

Slow go this round. Fished Bethany this evening; was not able to go earlier this week. Lots of rain though, so it's all good. Managed to catch three Bluegill... first one went for a Guadalupana, next one wanted a Foam Grasshopper, and the last one took a Balsa Popper Fly.  Did have several missed strikes from Bass and Bluegill. Not sure why so many missed strikes... guess that's what happens when you miss a week of fishing.

Packery Channel for a Round of Fishing!

COAF Field Team Members NucLaroche and the Comal Kid had a round of fishing this past Friday at Packery Channel on the coast by Corpus Christi.

Missed the tide but they managed to have some fun catching and releasing a number of fish - Croaker, Speckle Trout, Redfish, Perch, and even a Hardhead!

They sent pictures but the photo quality was poor due to low light conditions. Regardless, here is a short slide show of a sampling of some of the fish they caught!



PS from Fshng84: My daughter and my niece were also boogie boarding on the beach by the Holiday Inn just down from the Packery Channel Jetty. They were having fun until two three foot sharks (they said they had black tips on their fin) swam by them as they were chasing fish. They got out of the water soon after!

Bank Fishing This Round... Only One Little Catfish

Went bank fishing this round. Back to Ticky Creek Park where we fished with jug lines yesterday. Used surf casting gear to get out where we placed the jug lines. Wanted to see if the bite was good from the bank. Had a lot of missed strikes, but did catch one little Catfish.

Jug Line Fishing This Morning

Fished Ticky Creek Park (Lake Lavon) with Kayak Fishing Jug Lines this morning. Took the kayak this time; made for an easier portage to the lake compared to the jon boat.

While setting up at the boat ramp, had a Carp go swimming by. Also, was able to get some fresh bait - Shad, using the cast net. No need to buy th frozen bait this time.

After setting the jug lines, had a Gar on the line. Luckily, it came off; hate having to mess with them in a kayak. Rest of the morning caught a number of small Catfish and a couple of Gaspergou.

Did end the trip with four Keepers - three Blue Catfish and one Channel Catfish. Making them for dinner tonight with the Beer Batter Fish Fry recipe we posted online!

Fun stuff!

Quick Trip... Mojo Was Off This Round

Fished Bethany Lakes this evening. Mojo was off this round with too many missed hook sets and thrown hooks. Did manage to get two Bass. No Bruisers but still fun. One took a Tube Popper Fly; the other went for a Foam Damsel Fly.

More Jug Line Fishing Today

Back to the Lake Lavon for more jug line fishing today. Boat ramp was closed at Ticky Creek but was able to launch from shore and get the jug lines set! Caught three Catfish, lost another one, and had several misses. Had a fun time.

Jug Lining This Round... Only One

Went Jug Line Fishing this morning. Set up six jug lines using the Kayak Fishing Jug Lines we described in the Jug Line Fishing article we posted some time back. Took the jon boat out instead of kayaks; after setting lines, did some trolling for White Bass. No White Bass but did get one Catfish on a jug line!  Had to deal with the wind every once in awhile as well as a boater running through the lines, else it was a fun time despite only getting the one.

Found a Pattern This Round

Fished Bethany this morning. Started with a Foam Damsel Fly, then a COAF Guadalupana, and then a Foam Grasshopper. No luck with the Damsel Fly, one Bluegill on the Guadalupana, and one Bass on the Grasshopper.

Then, noticed small dragonfly looking bugs hovering over the water's surface. Not sure what they were, but they looked to be about a Size 12 and were reddish/brown. Found a Size 12 Dry Fly that had a little color to it in the fly box. Tied it on the line, and started hooking up with Bluegill and a couple of little Bass!

Fun stuff!

Slow Action This Round

Start the 4th of July Weekend with a quick trip to Bethany Lakes.  Had some rain earlier in the day; water levels were up and fish were feeding in the shallows. Things started of with a missed hook set, and then no hits for a while.  Then, lucked into a little Bluegill, and a couple of Bass.  All went for a Foam Damsel Fly!

Missed Two, Caught One on a Lefty Deceiver This Round

Fished Bethany Lakes this round. Brought the Five Weight Fly Rod and used a Lefty Deceiver. Had a nice one take the fishing fly but lost it when the knot broke. Need to pay better attention to knots! Kept fishing and had one take; was briefly on the hook before it came off. Kept at it, and finally caught one this round. Not a Bruiser but still counts!

Spinnernbaits Worked Well This Round

Wind has been making it tough for us to go kayak fishing.  Really would like to catch a few more Keeper White Bass for another Beer Batter Fish Fry. 20+ mph winds had us shift to bank fishing.  This time fished Bethany. Was a tough go with no strikes on a crankbait or a spinnerbait with a plastic worm trailer. Removed the plastic worm, and started hooking up. Caught five Bass and lost two others. Fun stuff!

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!

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