Laydowns
Fish were tight to lay downs and old grass, fishing a Texas rig was the best way to effectively get fish out of the cover. Having a rod with a light tip and a lot of backbone was crucial, the 7’3 H Victory is perfect for this. Paired with 18lb sunline this was the perfect light flipping setup.

Caught more smallmouth than largemouth on a frog today, first time for everything! Targeted them coming out of spawning bays which put a lot of fish under mats and around pads. Frog was the best way to catch them and made for a super fun bite.

We had a great morning fishing the La Crosse area. Bass were pretty active most of the morning as we caught them on the outside weed lines and any little structure we could find. As the morning progressed we found that the fish moved shallower and further into the lily pads and grass.
