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!

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.
