Decided to try a different spot for some topwater excitement so I went to Buckingham, (Clear Lake), in the late afternoon. Just like I've experienced so far this year the bite turns on near sunset. It was sort of slow going at first, I missed the first 4 hits which were weak and small looking. But, never let your guard down, at the end of a cast in just 2 FOW the water opens up on my frog. I was thankful for the braid on my reel because it was difficult to stay tight to this fish as my yak was also being pulled towards it. When I saw it jump near me I could hardly believe my eyes! It's my best fish this year, and I didn't expect it on a frog. After this fish I caught a couple others, one right at the rod-tip as I was lifting the frog for another cast, and another that waked from 10 feet away to the frog after it had landed. As soon as that wake reached the frog it was bye-bye frog! I didn't land that one but for some strange reason... I was okay with that.
If you don't know where you're headed, any road could get you there.
