More toad fishing at cap this morning w my dad on yak got there early started north side dam finger was getting blowups but not near as many only landed 1 in couple hours we missed quite a few but they weren’t really that aggressive did have one knock my bait 2 feet in the air and he jumped 3 ft was pretty awesome so around 8 we switched to worm and craw I ended up with 6 on osp beaver my dad got 3 on robo neko 7” Aaron’s magic no biters on neko senco I fished as many days in row as I can remember will not fish for a day or so

Why stop now, keep the streak alive. That's good livin!

I’ve been developing fishing elbow but that’s why I carry and they make a spinning rod yeah I’ll prob go

My buddy Ted fishes Frog and Toads often up at Clear Lake and he soaks them in Dr Juice. He drops a squirt into a sandwich bag and dips that thing in there all day. Says they hold on to it longer. I fish a different Topwater, but it is also soft. When they eat it, instead of a hard strike back, I drop my rod and watch for my line to take off. Then hit them. It is the hardest thing to do in fishing. Not rear back on an explosive strike. But when you master it, the Bass(and Catfish) will come and visit your thumb more often.

That’s interesting ty for the feedback I may try soaking some in juice see if that helps yeah I learned u need to have a good hookset w toads my dad kept trying to do a short quick hookset missed em
