After a tough day on Lake Fork the week before I’ve returned for a redemption trip! Trying to figure out what the majority of the bass are doing. Some are just getting pulling up, some pawning and yet others are in the post spawn phase. Weather conditions play a big role in bass behavior and Lake Fork bass love sunny conditions! Flipping, pitching, sight fishing, frogs and poppin’ perch get some action on this most recent trip to the lake.

Another great video, awesome action! Can recommend a brand of sun protection gloves like you wear in your videos? I need to purchase some and have no idea if one is better than the other? God bless and be well!
"After a tough day on Lake Fork the week before I've returned for a redemption trip!"…………….Yea, it was TOUGH. Glad you got some redemption. Good vid.
Always a good day when you can check them on topwaters!
Man James, that looked like a perfect day at the lake!
Heck, I always think you can get one on the buzz baits (love the small ones esp)! Thanks for sharing James.
Not sure bout the buzz bait but that popping perch doing work
Enjoyed. Thanks.
Just watched the rest of the video, I have a question if I may, do you ever flip or pitch the rage bug or is the rodent better suited? Just curious because I don’t think I have ever seen you flip the bug, I use Reel Snot on my braid when I spool it to keep it from binding like that, I don’t know if you have ever tried it but really helps with keeping it from doing that.
After seeing the popping perch I don’t think a buzz bait would be a good one to throw, you might get some wake on it though.
I have been getting bites with the buzz bait already great video thank you and God Bless yours
