Stocker Trout Fishing News

Fly Fishing a Muddler Minnow with the vintage Bamboo Fly Rod! Bass were liking the pattern! This trip I decided last minute to tie a Muddler Minnow on my trusty Peak Vise. The recipe called for: HOOK: TMC 9395 #2-14. THREAD: 3/0 Monocord. TAIL: Matched Turkey Wing Quill Slips. BODY: Gold Tinsel or braid. UNDERWING: Tan Calf or Squirrel Tail. OVERWING: Matched Turkey Wing Quill Slips. HEAD AND COLLAR: Natural Deer Hair After a few casts, I hooked into several Bass using a short pulls of the line. Seemed the Bass wanted movement. Do checkout the video; it's a short snippet of the trip!

Was a fun time on Coast fishing the Rockport area. Did have a slight dry spell when yours truly's fishing mojo was off. Try this to fix it; kinda worked.

YouTube Shorts video of yours truly kayak fishing for Striped Bass on Lake Texoma – large reservoir that borders Texas and Oklahoma. Putting in at Highpoint Marina on the Texas side, I managed to get a strike or two but never landed a fish. Luckily, I had the old Water Wolf Camera – since lost in the waters of Lake Lavon our local lake! Trolling jigs and crankbaits, several fish had struck the lures. And, this short video, you clearly see in the murkiness a nice sized Gar! Check out more videos Kayak Fishing Lake Texoma: YouTube Playlist Full video of the YouTube Shorts: Struck Out at Texoma

More fun collating past trips into the YouTube Shorts video format. This one was a fun trip to a small pond stocked with trout. Decided to fish corn and Powerbait to see which bait the trout liked. Lesson learned… Bring both! Added it to the COAF Shorts playlist – check it out!

YouTube Shorts video on a fun trip fishing for catfish using homemade diy juglines while out in the kayak on the local lake! Caught a big one that I had to land on shore… no net and windy conditions. Better to take it to the boat ramp. Add it to the COAF Shorts playlist – click to see more.
