Cameron,Buddy and Me
I stayed at my friend Cameron’s lake house for a week on Toledo bend lake. Which also has a low water level ten to twelve feet below normal level now. My friends lake house is in a small cove called Cardinal Cove.
And the deepest spot we found was a creak channel that was 16 to 17 ft. so we put a trot line with 16 hooks going through the middle of the creak channel hoping to catch a mess of catfish with perch.
We left it there for a few days checking it twice a day and caught about one or two catfish a day. So we set a smaller line in shallower waters and the first night we caught 3 on hot dog weenies. We were there for a week and had a fish fry the day before we left.
And the last day my friends mom pulled the trot line up before we left and there was a 15 pound blue cat on so I skinned it and then filet it ready for the next fish fry.
My First Big Bass
Over the past weekend me and my buddy Ryan went fishing on Lake Toledo Bend, in Texas. We got a new boat and we were trolling around the cove at Hillside Inn, where we had stayed in one of there wonderful cabins there. We saw the bass hitting on shiners so I used a Rattlin Rapala because of its shad like appearance, and i had got it in the mail from North American Fisheng Club to try out. After trolling around for 30 min. we already caught 3 fish and we were coming up on the right side of the cove and Ryan got a bite. He slowed down a little bit and he got a bite again he jerked so hard I thought the

lips came off the bass! He got it in the boat and we got it weighed. It was 2.15 pounds,we put him in the live well and we trolled over to the left point of the cove it took a few cast but then I felt it. I jerk and he puts up a good fight he goes straight under the boat and I finally got him in!! he was 17 1/2 inches but I didn’t get a chance to weigh him. He’s big, that’s for sure! We went back to show my parents. Camera’s came out, My parents started snapping pictures….And, that’s how we ended are weekend at the lake!
October 9th 2010
I wake up to the smell of bacon early morning . After a good breakfast my cousin blade, my paw paw Jimmy, and me head out to the boat, we go straight across the lake from mill creek. I start off with a blue and white rattle trap. We see a school of what we thought were large-mouth bass we get closer, and right away I catch one .I get it in and its not a large-mouth at all its a yellow bass.
So, we switched to a smaller shad colored swimbait and I catch two more and so does blade, and paw paw Jimmy. The school went away but, we kept on fishing after about an hour, we go back to camp. we all ate a sandwich and we rested a little bit. me and my cousin decided to go perch fishing off the bank. we needed some for the drop-line anyway. after we catch a few its time to go to our honey hole in the boat. We get there and I forgot too cut the perch up, so me and my cousin Blade get of on the bank to cut the perch. and my paw paw decides to throw his swim bait a few cast and he catches a “BIG” sun perch! So we cut him up to. A few more cast later he catches a pretty good size bass. We keep him, a couple hrs. later we haven’t caught any thing else, so we check the drop-lines. Nothing on them, and we get ready for a long trip home.that’s a good day at the lake.
Hey its me again Taylor I cant believe its already summer .I’m going to be at the lake almost all summer at my pawpaws lake house fishing most of the time.
When I’m at my house I’m going to be mowing lawns to save my money for a boat there is this cool new website that has some pretty cool boats on it at www.fishingbaitslures.info that’s were I’m getting mine you might want too check it out.
I’m not going to be on my computer as much as usually do to write an article but I will as much as I can. Well that’s all for today, I hope you come back again!!!
Hey its me again last weekend me my grandpa and my to younger cousins Blade and Raley, went fishing at my uncles pond. You see a lot of people think you have to go out to Sam Rayburn or Toledo Bend to catch a good quality fish , but the good fish could be in the smallest most uncommon places and if your in a pond usually you should use a small bait, but this pond is stocked with catfish and brim.
Personally I like to catfish the big ones so I fished for catfish and used magic night crawler bait and it worked like a charm. after they stopped biting i started using a bite purple rat-tell trap didn’t catch tiny bass.
I look to the left and my cousin blade had a good bass on the line, and my cousin Raley is reeling in the brim one after another,and at the end of the day we went to get a bite at sonic. That’s what I did last weekend
thanks and come back next week for another weekly fishing tip
