Big Lure vs Little Lure
Today I tried putting my lightest setup up against my heaviest- with a small finesse paddletail on a light jig on the light rod against a big propbait on a baitcaster with braided line on my heaviest rod. The pond gets a lot of pressure giving an edge to the finesse jig, but the temperature, lightin, anf time of day favor topwater, so I'd call it even- or so I thought.

Failure is Always an Option
I've always said when you fish topwater, even the misses are fun- and today I put that to the test with a googan mini revolver propbait. I can't fault the lure- I've caught plenty of fish with it before- see how many times I can miss with one lure in about 30 minutes of fishing, and feel free to comment if you spot anything you think I'm doing wrong (because after this session, I'll take all the help I can get!)

Exploring with a Spinnerbait
I caught a break between rain showers in the late afternoon, so I took my baitcaster with a spinnerbait tied on down to a local pond to see if anything was interested.

Golden Rod Challenge
I realized that my two light rods are both gold colored, so it somehow made sense to put them head to head- at the local pond. I ran a rooster tail on my older rod, and a paddletail swimbait on a jig head on the travel rod from Temu, and they both performed today.

Overcast Day at the Pond
It was overcast and gloomy, so naturally, that meant it was a good time to throw a whopper plopper! I got good results when I tried popping the bait a few times before retrieving.
Since I got most of the action in the first few minutes of my short outing, this video is almost completely uncut.

$30 Temu Kit at the Creek
I tried my $30 fishing kit from Temu at a local creek, using the smallest lure in the kit, and managed to catch five different species in under a half hour- including a redfin pickerel- a species of pickerel I've never seen in my area before!

Temu Fishing Kit Challenge
I spotted a ~$30 fishing kit on Temu, with a telescoping travel rod, reel, light line, a few spoons, jig heads, small soft swimbaits, and a handful of hardbaits. I took it as a challenge to see what I could catch with this kit and if it seemed worthwhile.

Did the Bass Eat My Baby!?!?
This is my third attempt to catch a bass on a home-made lure made out of a rubber baby that a pro-life group was handing out a few weeks ago. Of course,I took it as a challenge to see if I could catch a bass on it...

Do Largemouth Dream of Plastic Worms?

Can a Rubber Baby Catch a Bass?
When your kids come home with weird items- like a rubber fetus, what do you do? Turn it into a bass lure of course... but will it catch bass?
Watch and see if my experimental (emphasis on mental) lure can get the job done, or do I need to rethink this...

Smallies, Micro Crankbait, and Topwater
Tried a few different baits at the river chasing after smallmouth, then at the pond chasing largemouth. The bait that got the day going was a micro-sized lipless crankbait that was surprisingly easy to use and more effective than I thought it would be.

Bass and Panfish at a Little Pond
I caught several species at a small neighborhood pond using rooster tails and a whopper plopper. This pond has come a long way in a year- last year I never caught a Bass large than maybe 6 inches here, this year I am getting much bigger ones, and today were my first topwater catches here.
