Bass Fishing at Coon Creek Club

Yesterday I left Dallas for Athens to fish at the Coon Creek Club with a couple of  friends.  Didn't see much fishing actions last night (the steak dinner more than made up for that), but managed to catch a few today.  We started early by throwing buzz-baits - the two bladed type that you can retrieve much slower.  A buddy and I each caught one on the buzz-baits, each one 2-3 pounds.  After about 45 minutes we switched to plastics. I caught my two larger fish on a 6" plastic worm, Christmas color. It was a really great time, and a super-nice getaway.  Here are some pictures - all taken with my Iphone.

  2. They were all real healthy. As you know - they manage both the fish and game at that place. It was a great experience.
