Caught a bunch of cookie cutter males fry guarding. Caught all of my fish along grass lines with patches of lillipads and under docks. I was mainly switching between a Spro Poppin' Frog 60 on a Denali AttaX 7' 4" Heavy Fast Casting Rod with a Quantum Smoke S3 8.1:1 gear ratio real with K9 60 pd. "8" Strand Dyneema Super Braid and a Untamed Tackle Punisher Swim Jig paired with a NetBait Paca Chunk on a Denali AttaX 7' 4" Heavy Fast Casting Rod with a Quantum Smoke S3 8.1:1 gear ratio reel with K9 "9" Strand Dyneema Super Braid. When it came to fishing the docks I would switch between these two baits and a wacky rigged 5" black and blue Yamamoto Senko on a Denali Lithium 7' Medium Heavy Fast Action Spinning Rod with a Quantum Smoke S3 Spinning Reel with K9 25 pd. "9" Strand Dyneema Super Braid with a leader of 10 pd. Sunline FC Sniper. I would alternate between these three baits based on the conditions and the cover.
