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]

Has been a busy work week but we did make it to Denison Dam Saturday for another round of fishing. Brought the 6-weight Switch Rod, lots of Clouser Minnows, and the dip net to catch Shad. Last time we were here, the fish were only taking Shad and did not want our Clouser Minnows. So, just… [read more]

Another Vlog filmed in the field. This round we decided on a quick trip to Celebration Park to try some Micro Fishing with the two-piece Micro Flyrod. Started out using small fishing flies – Rainbow Warrior and an Olive Midge, but later switched to a Guadalupana. While catching the little Bluegill, we noticed larger fish… [read more]

Only one Catfish but was able to get the action shots we were looking for. Also, was great to see it was fish instead of turtles that were toying with our bait – live Bluegill! Really like being able to get frame by frame snapshots of the Catfish taking the Bluegill. Interesting to see multiple… [read more]

Made it back to Bratonia for more jug lining. Caught six Catfish, largest went ~8 lbs! Also, caught a little Gar on a jug line, and a Gaspergou with the cast net. Windy day with most of the morning spent trying to get Shad with the cast net. Did get a couple of Catfish later… [read more]

This round of testing resulted in one Catfish caught, another lost while landing it. Did get another one but did not get video of it. All went for bread for bait! Working on one more mod to the camera rigging. We think the next test will show a better angle of the fish taking and/or… [read more]

More fun with the Water Wolf Camera and being able to observe the action underwater. Fished Celebration Park this evening and managed to get one nice Catfish using bread for bait. Did have several others take our bait but was not able to land them. Missed hook sets as well as setting too early. No… [read more]
