Fishing has gotten tougher but big ones are there to be caught. I am targeting isolated pads with a little dipper and fluorocarbon. The thicker pads I am targeting with the dipper/braid and following up missed blow-ups with the frog, This type of fishing can be heart breaking but it is exciting. HAPPY HUNTING !!!
