Delta in July, end of week 2

I continued my search for topwater bass this week with trips on Thurs., Fri., and Monday.  Fished the morning each day from dawn until lunch-time.  On Thursday, I caught a few small fish.  I wasn't setting the hook well and lost a big big bass at the boat when the hook pulled loose.  I then proceded to miss the next five fish on my popper including one that broke the line.  Luckily poppers float, and I CAN'T SET THE HOOK; so, I was able to get it back.    

Friday, I hooked up with Colt45 for another round.  I was able to get a few fish to stick, but continued to miss the hookset on a half a dozen hits or more.  Colt45 was able to get his first Delta Bass to the boat.  He also has an awesome camera mount system set up for his boat--very well thought out.  I was able to scratch out a few more bass on spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, and crankbaits.  I also caught two and a half catfish(one got off at the boat) on the crankbait. (pic4, taken by Colt45)

Today, Monday, I got to try my new "vanity mount" for my camera.  It worked out okay, but I still need to work on the FisHunter pose.  I don't have a knife    (that's suppose to be a pirate).  I ended up with seven fish today, two were 3.5 pounds (pics 1 and 2), three were 1.5 pounds (pic 3), and the other two were dinks.  I talked with several bassers, and it was a slow morning for them too.  I am using poppers in the morning.  After the sun gets up a bit in the sky, I switch to a crankbait worked through the weeds.

I'll be out there Tues, Wed, and Thurs too.  Maybe an evening trip also.

Vanity mount - I approve!     Let's see a shot of Colt45's setup if you can.

Nice reporting on good action as usual, Bryan.   

Abking...

Hopefully Colt45 will post some pics of it...I don't have any.  You are still the "king" of Fish Porn Video's.  What's your set-up?  What video camera do you use?  I'd like to get some kind of set-up to take videos.  PM me if you can.
