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.

A favorite recipe from the Team is the Beer Batter Fish Fry Recipe. And, with the last trip where we caught three Catfish, the recipe came in handy. Do check it out when you get chance, and maybe use it for your net fish fry!   Snippet of Sunday’s #juglining and #kayakfishing …made for a… [read more]

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.

Fished the North Pond at Celebration Park yesterday. Brought the two-piece Micro Fly Rod and the Spinning Rod. Hoped to catch a few scrappy Bluegill and Sunfish while setting out the Water Wolf Camera on the Spinning Rod. Fun stuff!

Brought two kayaks and a fishing buddy. I started out focusing on Crappie, and began locating submerged trees and brush with the fish… [read more]
