Froggin4Bass: April 2013
http://froggin4bass.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 26, 2013. Soft plastics with me, a few lip less and shallow crank baits, a few frogs and some terminal gear and made my way to the water. Her first run was parallel to me, and I caught a quick glimpse of her as she stared with her cold black eyes into mine as if to say."You're in for a heck of a fight mister, hang on! I'm glad she did, because as she flopped about, the hook shank actually broke! Although the weather temperature was mild in the low 60's on this cloudy and pre-frontal day, th...

Froggin4Bass: June 2013
http://froggin4bass.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 2, 2013. Four for Four . The last month has been a less than stellar time for me with regards to quality fish. I have had the chance to fish four times and two of which were in the rain. The first outing was my least productive of all the trips. It was during the annual YakAttack. The next day was no better and the rain was worse. I tried to fish with Vic of Appomattox River Company. The next outing was actually a video on how I use the Pro Angler and other common FAQs I and others have resp...

Froggin4Bass: December 2013
http://froggin4bass.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 21, 2013. Focus is what helps an angler hone in on a specific target area, lure presentation or situational awareness of changing conditions during a tournament or day on the water. Each of these represents a different type of focus required. For the target area, do you look for a lay down or a submerged extended point alone? Or, do you take into consideration the wind direction, the sun position and the angle of your cast? In November, after three trips in a row I thought I had my sal...

Froggin4Bass: Friday Fireworks
http://froggin4bass.blogspot.com/2015/07/friday-fireworks.html
Friday, July 3, 2015. I'll let the pictures do the majority of the talking save for these two thoughts. First, trying to cast a fly rod in the wind is frustrating! Second, trying to cast a fly and retrieve it through lily pads is almost as frustrating! The first pic is for size reference, since I was bank fishing due to pending storms. I think I'm getting the hang of this fly casting to some extent though. Labels: Fly fishing bass bluegill panfish. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Heroes On The Water.

Froggin4Bass: July 2015
http://froggin4bass.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 11, 2015. After years of fishing both in and out of the kayak, I can now say I have caught a freshwater citation in the state of Virginia. The last three years have seen several bass each year fall short of citation by the narrowest of margins. Well, the wait is finally over! The best part of it all was that I caught it using my favorite frog lure of all time - the Capt. Ken Daubert Clone Frog. And to complete the trifecta of good vibes, I was sporting my new Astral Porter. Thanks again to...

Froggin4Bass: January 2015

Monday, January 12, 2015. More rigging (2015 Outback). Next up for the rigging on my new Hobie Outback. Is to outfit the hull with some necessities. I tend to keep my rigging simple, so this will be picture intensive but simple in total mods completed. In short, a couple GearTracs, tsome new electronics, a power kit and some decals. First up, the easy stuff - decals and as always, a couple YakAttack. Mount and camera. It can also be used for a YakAttack Zooka Tube. As well sometime within the next week.

Froggin4Bass: October 2013
http://froggin4bass.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 16, 2013. The goal of the night was to get some time on the water after a long overdue hiatus. Between Mother Nature, family obligations, travel baseball and work I have barely had time to sleep. Well, I sacrificed sleep for a change recently and vowed to get out on the water regardless of weather conditions. As luck would have it, it was raining, but I went anyway dang it! This fish was significant, because it was also the first fish landed on my new custom Bull Bay Rod. Kelly and Dus...

Froggin4Bass: August 2013
http://froggin4bass.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 26, 2013. Ommitment by definition is the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause or activity, or an engagement or obligation that restricts freedom of action, where as an obligation is an act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound. Fast forward to this year. These outings in the saltwater are where the magic happened recently. The Virginia Marine Resources Commission holds an annual saltwater fishing tournament. Where anglers compete to see who can catch c...

Froggin4Bass: January 2014
http://froggin4bass.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 22, 2014. Do you love to kayak fish? What a silly question to ask a kayak angler, but is it really that silly? To push myself to achieve more and catch quality fish. Do you love kayak angling? What inspires you as an angler to better yourself or learn a new tactic? How you as an angler characterize your love for the sport or how you find inspiration is unique to you and is a feeling that you should take tremendous pride in and hold on to as if it was a family heirloom. I know I do.

Tuesday, July 16, 2013. Chasing Mr. Brown. We launched a little after the sun crested the horizon and made our way out of Wallace's Marina and headed out to the mouth of the channel. It was slow going, because we were hitting the incoming current and had to make our way about 3-4 miles offshore. Here's a video homage to our trials and tribulations on the day. Until next time - tight lines and be safe out there. Expect the best, but prepare for the worse. Monday, July 1, 2013. 3 Weather conditions.che...
