Oct.9, 2009 notes from last week, mostly about fish

Some notes on my recent fishing out at Benbrook Lake. Interesting to me in the future, yet boring to anyone else anytime. So versatile....


(all at HPark, sites noted)

9-30-09
Site 51. Caught ~10" Largemouth Bass, hooked and lost what was probably another- better - fish (Roadrunner lure)

10-02-09
Awesome day. Site 64. Fished most of the day, from 8 am to 8:30 pm. Used worms, and caught 7 small perch, 1 tiny catfish (channel, probably- never seen one that little, so not sure...), and 1 small sand bass. Rained on and off until noon, then clear and warm, then major storm from about 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., then saw a beautiful partial rainbow, then clear again. I had an awesome view of a nearby (maybe 10 miles away?) thunderstorm, and could see lightning in the clouds silhouette. It was VERY cool. I had a good day.

10-3-09 Site 71. I caught 2 small (8-10") bass on a chartreuse roadrunner lure. Weather misting, ~70s, overcast at first (6 p.m. or so), then it rained hard all night.

10-5-09 Site 64 Fishing again; fished most of the day. I caught 10 fish: 7 small (4-6") sand bass, 2 small perch, one nice bass ~16", 2 lbs, all on worms, on a bobber rig.

10-6-09 site 64 I caught 18 fish: 14 small (4-6") sand bass, 4 small perch (5-7") on worms on a bobber rig, all between 8:30 a.m. and noon.
