Punching through mats with the flippin delight was key. Yo-yo-ing this bait under the mat produced some great bites!

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

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.

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