Thanks B_Rod, HankS, and Bug-e!

No kayak fishing today but looks like the Sabiki Rig for White Bass works from shore, too! One mod though,... had to remove the Slab and replace it with a lead weight to get longer casts.

Great time catching and releasing White Bass. Also, caught a couple of Yellow Bass, a Bass and a Catfish that decided went for the Crappie Jigs! Overall low boating traffic - only had to deal with one boat, one jet ski, and two kayaks that passed over the schools of fish lingering off the point. No worries..., fish stayed in the area!

Fun stuff! Today's Video.

Working on the video; likely post tomorrow. Fished Tickey Creek using Frito Fishing Flies on a Sabiki Rig casted. Worked well until we lost the rig when we snapped the line on a bad cast. Today's Post. Going to make more and give them a try trolling them with the kayak!

Video of the action from yesterday when we fished Tickey Creek! Really liking the simple fishing flies that work great on the Sabiki Rig for White Bass!

Going to tie more Frito Fisjing Flies since (as Murphy's Law has it) we lost the only rig we had. No problem, simple and easy pattern. Should be able to restock the tackle box shortly! Yesterday's Video

Short video this round... Brockdale Park this evening surf casting from the bank. Late start and then a dirty lens made us opt for editing out the onesie/twosie hook ups and show mainly the three and four fish hook ups.

The Frito Fishing Fly worked well with lots of hook ups and like yesterday, lots of undersized White Bass with exception of one Keeper.Today's Video

Weekend up in the air but hope to get a round of fishing in; be it in a kayak or from the bank!

Planned to kayak fish Tickey Creek this morning but switched to Little Ridge this morning. Started out slow with windy conditions and rough water to make things interesting.

Then, started getting a fish or two using the Sabiki Rig for White Bass. Action picked up with multi-hook ups while trolling; also, did some sight casting at passing schools. All were undersized White Bass but did get a Yellow Bass and a 15" White Bass to put on the stringer. Today's Video.

I hit little ridge this morning. My son just got his first kayak so we broke it in on sandies at the point. I think he is now hooked on kayaking. There is a lot of dinks hitting right now, with some nice ones mixed in. I think the next few years will be good on Lavon.

Great to hear Slingbait! Fun way to fish plus get a workout in, too!

Gave it another try at Little Ridge this morning, too... multiple hook ups on the Sabiki Rig for White Bass! Undersized but the action was good with lots of fish chasing those that were already hooked!

Did get one Keeper and a Catfish that went for the Slab! Today's Video.

I think I saw you out there fshng84. I did notice there were lots of fish chasing the catch. I need to do a Sabiki rig next time

Cool, I was in the tan (SINK) Heritage Kayak. Sabiki Rig works great. Lets you use more or less crappie jigs and if you need to re-tie a dropper, it can be done quickly.

Mariner made me a killer deal on a Malibu Sierra 10 .For what he is going to do that was the perfect layout for him.

I will keep an eye out for you next time I am over that way. I normally go to Cooper and chase Hybrids. I live close to Lavon so I think I may start hitting it more often.
