      Fished last Tuesday, it was an extremely tough day on the water. Everywhere where I had caught fish a a few days prior had been sprayed by the FWC. To make matters even more difficult was the fact that it's been a full moon for a few days. Started the morning fishing a Spro Poppin' Frog 60 in Black and Yellow on a Denali 7' 4" AttaX Heavy Fast Casting Rod with a Quantum Smoke S3 8.1:1 Casting Reel paired with K9 60 pound "8" Strand Dyneema Super Braid. Eventually switched to a Spro Poppin' Frog 60 in Red Ear once the sun was over the trees. I also threw an Untamed Tackle 3/8 oz. Punisher Swim Jig in Pepper Shad with a Zoom Super Speed Craw in Pearl as a trailer on Denali AttaX 7' 4" Heavy Fast with a Quantum Smoke S3 8.1:1 gear ratio Casting Reel paired with 60 pound "9" Strand Dyneema Super Braid. Only had a few gar and mud fish blow up on the frog so I moved out to some patches of lillipads that were offshore. Flipped the pads with a VMC Tokyo Rig with a 5/0 VMC Straight Shank Flipping Hook paired with a Missile Baits D Bomb in Bruiser Flash with a 1/2 oz. WOO! Tungsten Never Chip Flipping Weight. My setup for the Tokyo Rig was a Denali AttaX 7' 4" Heavy Fast with a Quantum Smoke S3 8.1:1 gear ratio Casting Reel paired with 60 pound K9 Fishing "8" Strand Dyneema Super Braid with a 20 pound Sunline Assassin Fluorocarbon leader. Fishing was brutally tough. Hopefully after a few days the fishing will improve after the FWC sprayed so much of the lake.

      Had a great morning of fishing. Caught well over 20 bass in about four hours of fishing. Was fishing new water, conditions were perfect for frog fishing. It was cloudy and calm. Started the morning fishing a Spro Bronzeye Frog 65 in Sunfish as I figured there would be a good deal of males fry guarding. I was fishing the frog on a Denali AttaX 7' 4" heavy fast rod with a Quantum Smoke S3 8.1:1 casting reel paired with K9 60 pound "8" Strand Dyneema Super Braid. Early in the morning it was partly cloudy so that's why I went with the sunfish color frog. But as the morning progressed it became mostly cloudy so I switched to a Spro Bronzeye Poppin' Frog 60 in Midnight Walker. Fishing floating matts of vegetation and flooded water willows.

      The holes in the grass have been producing some really giant bags. This giant came working a speed worm style bait through the offshore hydrilla

      Working a worm through offshore grass and letting it swim through the holes was super productive

      Fished Orange Lake for the first time yesterday. The bite is tough as the fish have received a ton of pressure over the past month or so and are in the post spawn funk. Spent the majority of the day trying to cover as much water as possible and piece together a pattern as to what specific type of cover the fish were relating to. Spent the morning throwing a Spro Bronzeye Poppin Frog 60 and an Untamed Tackle Punisher Swim Jig with a Zoom Super Speed Craw trailer. Only managed to catch one on the swim jig and had another fish miss the Spro Poppin Frog. Other than that it was a real struggle. Fishing should get better in the next week or so.

      I was fishing pre and post spawn fish in a hydrilla field. I used a swimjig to cover water quickly and efficiently, and to find holes where fish were staging. The speed of Using a 8:1:1 reel and short pauses on the retrieve was the key to getting the larger fish to bite

      Jumped in our Xtreme Bass Series divisional event to try our hand at a hot lake. Struggled most of the day, missing a solid fish on topwater early in the morning. Made a move to sparse offshore hydrilla and started throwing a Magnum Hit Worm around. Caught a 4.5 and a 5.5 in about 15 minutes, losing another fish in the same area. It ended up taking over 35 pounds to win the event, anchored by an almost 11 pound lunker.
