Catfish

Fished Lake Lavon at Highland Park on Saturday, June 9. Took the Jon Boat and Kayak and fished with jug lines using the Jon Boat, and rod and reel using the kayak. Windy day with lots of waves, luckily the cove around the point was calm. Caught some shad at the boat ramp before hanging… [read more]

Made the run down the road to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens for a chance at trout. Cool place with several ponds to fish. We opted to fish the Casting Pond. Maybe next round we will give it a go at the other locations. Bite started out good with several strikes on the… [read more]

Been revisiting different ponds we have fished previously but cannot recall when we last fished them lately. This afternoon decided to check out Anglers Cove the catch and release pond by Top Golf in Allen. Lots of construction has things clobbered and the water seems lifeless… did see some “fishy” activity but looked like bait… [read more]

Follow-up video of the action we saw while scouting a local pond for Catfish. Had a number of Catfish look at our bait and many more Sunfish and Bluegill peck at our bait. Fun time but ended this round without a Catfish. One did bend our hook to get away though!  

Yesterday morning fished Celebration Park’s North Pond. Used a Water Wolf Camera to get underwater video of the fish lurking in the pond – Bluegill, Sunfish, and a couple of Catfish. Caught several Bluegill and Sunfish using the Micro Fly Rod! Used a size 10 Pink Near Deere that they were readily striking. But, should… [read more]

Decided to do some underwater video scouting at Celebration Park’s North Pond with the Water Wolf Camera. Have not used the camera in a while nor fished the pond recently. But, was able to confirm the Bluegill and Sunfish are still in the pond as well as Catfish!

Fished Clear Lake Park on Lake Lavon yesterday. Slow go at first while we trolled a Slab and Jig Rig tied sabiki style. No hits until we started bouncing the rig on the bottom! Fun stuff with Crappie, White Bass, and even Catfish on the line.

Another windy day but this time stayed on the leeward side of Tickey Creek Park (Lavon) and did some jug lining from the kayak. Got some video to edit; will post later. For now… here are pictures from today!   Another #coffee and cookies to go. This time #juglining with the #kayak and nightcrawlers for… [read more]

Decided to tie a couple of Red Damsel Flies and fish the catch and release ponds at Plano East Senior High School. Started out with a little fingerling Bass, then a Sunfish, and then a nice Catfish! Fun time… liking the Damsel Flies in purple and now in red, too! Ended the trip with 4… [read more]

Fun time fishing Bethany Lakes yesterday morning. Caught four Catfish using bread for bait. Below is the video of the action; added some details on how we rigged our fishing rod, chummed the area, and baited our hooks. Gotta love a simple grocery store bait like bread… even better, if the fish aren’t biting and… [read more]
