Fishing the wacky rig right up next to flood timber away from the bank yielded a fun day on the water. Junebug colored in stained water with spinning gear and the new Mustad Alpha Point's was king.

During this fishing trip, we dominated with the Missile Baits Magic worm. That was paired with the Mustad alpha point finesse hook on a drop shot. Starting to really notice the hook up ratio is becoming better and better. Compared to other brands, Mustad has truly improved with this Alpha Point series!

Pulled off a 2nd place finish as well as the big bass of the tournament Saturday. My main approach was to go shallow around the grass and grind out a few bites. Which turned out to be one of the best days of kayak fishing I’ve had! Caught of 50 bass on the Evergreen Grass Ripper paired with a Menace Grub trailer. Caught some better that average bass as well as flipping a DBomb with the new Mustad Alpha point flipping hook. Once you set the hook, the fish will not be coming off.

Bigger fish activated on dropshot using Geecrack Bellows Gill and Mustad Alpha Point #1. Bait keeper on hook works well for weedless presentation.

First trip using the new Mustad Alpha Grip finesse hook and I am very impressed! Hook up ratio with this hook is fantastic and rigging worms is very easy. Pairing it with a Missile Baits Magic Worm, it’s become a staple in my drop shot arsenal. Fishing mainly brush piles and even pulled out this 5lb chunk on the new hook. If you’re looking for a new hook to try, pick up some of these new Mustads and keep those fish pinned!

Bass were up shallow gorging on bream beds. Target every laydown, brush top, or tree with the frog. Walk the frog to the cover, and let it sit for a few seconds. The fish would smoke it on the next movement.
