Motoroil plastic worm and shad-colored topwater worked well for us this past weekend (in the main pond).

A couple of days with stable weather and the water clearing a bit seems to have the activity picking up, caught six small bass in the fountain pond at Bethany and eight at 1378 yesterday, all on an H2O shallow crank- only dives a foot. Used a chrome sexy shad color.

Olive Wooley Buggers and White Curly Tail Roadrunners were working for me at Bethany Lakes over this year. Did catch one little Bass at lunch today. Today's Catch.

That crank had the little guys buzzing but I'm hoping the water continues to clear up and I can go to some other baits to get on some bigger fish.

I like my watermelon or watermeleon reds for any soft plastic out there. They really hammer the bait. Don't forget to throw a lipless crank out there when there is current. You will maybe surprised by a nice fish.

fshng84, Were you out at Bethany lakes today?
-22

my friend and i went fishing at the middle pond in lost creek neighborhood. we used cooked turkey bacon about three or four feet down and caught some big catfish. mine was 19 inches and he had two that went over two foot. dont put your rod down though because they hit fast then run. i had to jump in after mine

Sorry 22 -
Was not out that day or this weekend. Tough time of the year for me.... Deer Season, Duck Season, and Trout Stockings coming soon.... plus normal work.

Heard someone had a big day out there with a fly rod and thought it might have been you. The story the witness told me was that while reeling in a small bass in front of the outlet on the pond with the fountain the fish was hammered by a six pounder and the angler landed the larger fish with the hooked one in its mouth. Pretty cool story either way. I ended up having good luck out there again on a very shallow crankbait that stays up out of the snot grass. All little guys for me, though.

And I know what you mean- I didn't get on a deer lease this year but I've got ducks on the brain....

I can believe a 6 pounder. Have seen some Bruisers in the Spring on their beds. Just won't bite anything.

Fished Colleyville Justice Center this morning. bite was slow, but got one 15" lmb on pearl wacky worm

It was dink day at CJC. All caught on white rooster tail and chartruse roadrunner. tried wacky worm for larger fish but no luck

not to mention sandbass run

Went out to bethany and caught two bass about 10-12 in. On a wacky worm and on a power worm

I went back out to CJC this afternoon and caught one decent lmb on a white rooster tail. Could not get them to hit the wacky worm

Fished Bethany Lakes earlier today without success. Came back for another try in the evening. Ended with a Bluegill and a little Bass and more missed strikes. Today's Catch.

Fished Lake Lavon's tailrace this morning. Caught 5 White Bass using surfcasting gear and Cork and Jig Rigs like we used at Denison Dam's tailrace. Fun to stretch a line!
Today's Catch.

Hi guys
The Rainbow Trout stocking schedule has been posted. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/fishboat/fish/management/stocking/trout_stocking.phtml

See you Plano/Allen guys at Bethany Lakes on Dec 11th.


*back to lurk mode*

Oh its on

K so this gonna be my first trout season. So whats important to know in order to catch the limit?

First few days after stocking are best, action stays steady for the next 2 weeks, and then tapers off quickly.

Bring lures and baits and be ready to switch to what is working.

Here are a couple of articles for more info.
