Life has been busy for me lately, so posting has not been a priority. With the Summer heat kicking in, I do not plan to fish as often as I'd like. Morning and evening hours are more comfortable and do not require repeated applications of sunblock. Afternoon temperatures creep up into the 90's and very few clouds help block out the sunshine. It can be brutal and skin cancer is not on my list of things to have later in life.
As for upcoming posts, the one on casting in close quarters is done and scheduled to post later today. I'm working on the twitching technique post right now and contemplating whether or not photos will be necessary. I have not even begun typing my notes on the Zoom Finesse Worm post. I will also need more time to evaluate the Big Bite Baits Rojas Fighting Frog. I tried it out during the spawn and did not come up with anything. I also learned that the bait is on the light side. Now that I'm adding a weight to the setup and have some smaller 3/0 and 2/0 hooks, I'm going to try to force myself to use this bait. After all, flipping baits like Sweet Beavers are supposed to do well on area lakes. I might also try it as a jig trailer. I have more experience using the Yo Mama, but have not caught any fish on it yet. The Strike King Elite Buzzbait has been in my lineup for a while now, so I can probably go ahead and get a head start on that post.
Being on Twitter has also set a few post ideas into motion. An FLW Magazine editor asked followers about our top choice of soft plastic lures. I have written a post already which uses the topic as a springboard to a much deeper discussion, but I want to edit it some more before giving it the final heave into blog land.
I also edited the Cross Lake Map post this afternoon. I included some explanations for particular landmark names. Anglers here know many fishing spots by the signs and other visual aids lining the bank. You won't find those names on any GPS or topo maps.
Don't forget that you can add me on Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter. It makes following my blog a lot easier.
