The males were still guarding beds in 4 to 8 feet of water. Only caught a couple females but I caught more that 10! BFS fishing is so much fun!!!! This one was 18”

I tried a 3.3" and 2.8" fat swing impact. Both baits fit well on the 1/8oz owner flashy swimmer hook. I have had hookup issues with anything over 3" on this hook in the past and today was not any different. I missed 6 fish before I switched and then I only missed one. I think the smaller fish will short strike the 3.3" and not get the hook. If you look at where the spinner blade is, if a fish strikes there they will only get the back half of the 3.3. The 3.3 is also a lot fatter, so it does not have as much room for the bait to slide. Here is the link to the YouTube video I made on this trip. https://youtu.be/jw7alyRQ0BM?si=P3Af62USSaUO9MVC

Bite is slow, find the healthiest grass and swim baits through it

I made a video of the outing https://youtu.be/yTt6Xdp5lRk Kayak fishing, casting tight up against or just into the reeds was getting the job done. I started out at sun up but as the day went on the bite did not cool off. The fish were biting all day until I got to wet and cold to continue, haha. I had some really good eats and one time a 17 1/2" bass almost pulled the rod out of my hands! Such a good time.

I was frog fishing and following up missed fish with the worm. The monofiliment keeper kind of got in the way of a couple hooksets but i was not getting hung up all the time either. I made a video of the trip - Check it out to see how i fished this bait. https://youtu.be/AiOC8ft5NIM?si=o6D2iK0UBGaLwAdS
