    Glad you finally got a few on top. Nothing better that getting one to hit on top. Hopefully you can get a few more in before baby gets here.

    Food for thought that a good friend told me about top water . Once the fish hits it . Could to 2 seconds before setting the hook. 80% of the chance it smokes em 20 % you’ll miss them

      Yeah I definitely need to relax on my hook sets most of the time

    Once I got a kayak I only ever fish when I'm on it and only bank fish at the coat now.

    These neighborhood ponds are so temperamental. One day you can fill a bag, then not catch a thing for weeks and you wonder if the fish suddenly died. Doesn't help that in my neighborhood there is a person that keeps the fish she catches and doesn't understand the recreational purpose of a neighborhood fishing hole... the fish don't just magically restock themselves!

    • @thesouthwes
      @thesouthwes  8 месяцев назад

      Yeah overfishing hits the ponds hard. One person could definitely wipe out most of the ponds I fish at. One super dry summer can wipe them out too
