fshng84 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2022 Fished with the Bait Finesse System Gear - Kastking Zephyr BFS Reel with Clicker and Bass Pro Shops Microlite Fiberglass Rod. Tied on the antique Rapala Floating Minnow for a follow-on round to confirm an earlier fishing trip was not a fluke. Confirmed... Bass still like the Rapala Floating Minnow! https://youtu.be/8-PhS0yTUJY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng84 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2022 First time kayak fishing Canyon Lake. Water was crystal clear and weather was sunny and hot. Only caught two little fish but did get a good workout in! Did see some Baby Buzzards feeding on a dead carp. May have been a sign to try fishing another time. LOL! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng84 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2022 Headed to the local lake for kayak fishing Saturday morning. Heat Advisory in effect, so we were not sure if the fish would be biting. Plan was to either bottom bounce a slab and jig rig or troll it for whatever bites. Else, would get a workout in paddling to and from the boat ramp. Managed two White Bass - one on a yellow Slab and one on a Crappie Jig. Also, had a little Channel Catfish strike a Crappie Jig bottom bounced. Not sure how we plan to cook the two White Bass, but will post a video. Do check back! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fshng84 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2022 Another video snippet of the effectiveness of this combo. Popper catches fish'. Fly Rod casts well even over the shoulder, too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng84 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2022 Recent trip to the Texas Coast had us fishing with Fish Bites. Worked well in Saltwater, wonder how it does in Freshwater. Took the @GoFish Cam to the local pond and watched Bass, Bluegill, and Turtles react to Fish Bites. Also, learned the Bluegill are attracted to the sound of the splash when casting the GoFish Cam... may explain why we get bit immediately when fishing with lures and fishing flies! Do checkout the video! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng84 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2022 This round I take the old Cortland Fiberglass Rod that has no drag except for the reel clicker and palming the reel to the local pond for Bass. Rod has a slow action making it really bendy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng84 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2022 Tough go at our local lake yesterday. Struck out at Clear Lake Park on Lake Lavon. At least got a great workout! Later, fished Highland Park. Had a few hits on Shad. Even had one on the line but did not keep it... had a lesion that I was wary about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
