This tank hit my top water lure and the fight was on! You’ve gotta love those top water blowups. I used the June Frog wake bait. What’s your favourite top water lure?

A fantastic start to the weekend! Nothing like fishing with friends. Today, Beika Zhan and I caught a total of 15 bass. Once you figure out the lure and pattern they want for the day, it’s all good!

✨ In the silence between casts, we hear ourselves most clearly ✨

Going wild pood fishing is undoubtedly a lot of fun, but there are certain precautions we need to take to ensure an enjoyable day! To protect ourselves from insects and bugs, we came fully prepared this time. Not only did we wear full chest waders to cover most of our skin, but we also brought insect repellent to protect the upper parts of our bodies. I sprayed remaining insect repellent around the area in the tall grass and applied ant pesticide on the ground where we standing. Additionally, I had a handheld mosquito device that burns fuel to repel mosquitoes effectively. Finally, I used a seatbelt cutter from my car's safety kit to clear a path through the tall cattail grass. Thanks to all these measures, neither of us got a single insect bite!

The wacky rig is a time tested lure. I prefer the green pumpkin senko. What’s your favourite senko color? Check out my Instagram: hookedwithsaj
