Quick Trip to Bethany Lakes This Evening

Made it to Bethany Lakes this evening for a quick trip! Caught a Bluegill and a Bass.  Missed others but just was not quick enough to hook up.  No worries... sure beats working!

Did get a new lens cover for the GoPro; no more scratches!  Looking forward to try it out tomorrow while kayak fishing at Texoma tomorrow!

For now, our Admin is having to re-publish non-fishing articles due to changes in the web host. That said, do check them out when you get a chance. Here are two that may interest some of our Readers:

Till next time...

Lake Texoma for Kayak Fishing This Round

Headed up the road to Lake Texoma. Launched our kayaks at Highpoint Marina. Caught a few small Stripers and Smallmouths; lost a few as well. Also, caught a large Gaspergou, too! All went for Rat-L-Traps (or a knock-off of a Rat-L-Trap we picked up from Academy). Windy at times and lots of boat traffic; still had some steady action. Need to come back sooner than later as we did lose several decent Stripers that threw the hook!

Quick Trip to Bethany This Round

Already missing the coast... did make it to the local pond for a quick trip. Slow action with a little Bluegill and Sunfish caught, and then missed strikes and spooked a fish.

PS: Learned today that any color jug line float other than orange is legal for Texas recreational fishermen starting September 1, 2014! Here is the TPWD Link.

On the Road This Weekend, Fished Galveston!

On the road this past weekend. Fished Galveston, Texas at the 61st Street Fishing Pier! Had a great time with nice weather and lots of action on Gafftop, Sand Trout, Whiting... and small Sharks. Met some great folks - other fishermen and the Pier Staff! Even saw part of reality TV show  "Little People" being filmed!

No Bruisers But Still Had a Fun Time Catching Fish!

Been a tough go trying to wet a line during the week lately. Was able to make it out this evening. Checked out Kroger Park; heard others doing well on Bass at the pond.

Did not hook up with any Bruisers but still had a fun time catching little Bass on a Four Weight Fly Rod. Caught one Bass on a Foam Rubber Grasshopper, and then the remainder went for the COAF Guadalupana that we tie.

Did see some decent Bass chasing bait fish near the banks; none wanted our fishing flies though. No worries, still caught a few... and even better, still beats working!

Jug Line Fishing on Lake Lavon Saturday Morning

Fished Lake Lavon Saturday morning and caught six Keepers. Largest went 4 pounds; caught them using Shad on Jug Lines!

Really nice morning with lower than normal temperatures for this time of year. Had to move around a little to find Shad for bait, but did find a spot that provided more than enough for this round.

Enjoying the nice weather, and the laid back style of fishing!

Did re-rig the Jug Lines with new line, same ones we posted in an article about Jug Line Fishing. This time, tried stopper knots above and below the drop lines. Seemed to have more hook ups this time!

Bite Was Steady This Morning On Jug Lines at Ticky Creek

Fished Lake Lavon at Ticky Creek this morning. Bite was steady with 15 Keepers; largest went 19" in size. Most went for Shad that we caught by the boat ramp. Did catch a couple of Gaspergou; used one for cut bait. Ended catching several on cut bait also! Fun stuff with most caught in 11'-12' of water with hooks set 1' and 2' from the bottom.

Slow Go This Round at Bethany... Caught a Few Little Ones!

Fished Bethany Lakes this evening. Slow action but still beats working. Had a few missed strikes on Bass, and then started hooking up with little Sunfish and Bluegill. Caught them using various fishing flies. Did feel the temps drop when a front arrived. Luckily, the rain held until later this evening. Fun stuff!

Jug Lining With the Kayak This Round

Used the kayak this round to put out jug lines. Managed to catch two Catfish and hooked but lost a nice Gar. Oh well, better luck next time. Let the Catfish go. One was just over 12" but wanted to hold out for larger ones. The other Catfish went about 18" but it too skinny for its head and length. Looked like an old injury to its bottom jaw although healed may have been the cause.

Fun Time Catching Catfish On Jug Lines This Morning!

Fished Lake Lavon at Ticky Creek Park this morning. Calm morning but the Shad were in the area as well as a few Catfish that lucked into our lines! Had a number of missed strikes from Yellow Bass possibly; even foul hooked one. Ended up with five Keepers but let go one because it just did not look right. Of the four we kept, three Blue Catfish and one Channel Catfish. Largest Catfish was a Blue Catfish that went 18". Fun stuff... having a Beer Batter Fish Fry later!

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.
