Brother in law asked me how I use a 9 foot diving Jerkbait in 6 foot of water. I threw this up on YouTube. Most important part is that rather than twitching the rod downward as traditional mechanic, I’ll use an almost horizontal and an occasional uptick of the tip. Other points are that I typically throw to an angle from the canal bank to maximize coverage and I purposely don’t lock the rod to my forearm so my wrist can aid in the shock absorption. https://youtu.be/i9yaigJ76T0

Started the morning with a surprise. 5lb 1oz on a white top water popper. Ended up having a productive bag for the day and didn’t throw one Jerkbait. Happy Holidays.

Night fishing: Now that I don’t have to worry about snakes and gators at my feet that I can’t see at night, I need to learn night fishing for bass. Any tips and suggestions would be appreciated. Need to get my ‘Night Moves’ on! I’m sure I’ll be entering some night tournaments here in Florida. Thanks in advance.
