I took a much needed trip this morning, the topwater bite was okay while the wind wasnt blowing



I was glad I had my Sage Largemouth pulling 'em out of this stuff
I even had an audience

Where in East Texas are you fishing?

Nice, what was the soup of the day, if you dont mind me asking?

Aw now that's nice...

Congrats, that looks like alot of fun on the fly. I see you pulled some salad up as well..LOL

I love poppers

Word

nice fishies

Mike, have you thought about red eyes? I think it would be killer!

I certainly have red eyes but for the poppers I don't really think it needs any eyes, I drill a small hole to set the eyes in foam poppers so they are flush with surface & the fish probably cant see 'em. I am about 50/50 on my bass bugs with eyes, and of the ones that do get eyes they generally fall out, I honestly haven't noticed a lessoning of strikes due to lack of eyes.

I quit putting eyes in the hair bugs all together.

I put no eyes on a lot of em

I put them in everything I tie, that calls for them. I just don't see the fly as being finished until I get the eyes on them. It's weird, but thats me.

I agree they look a lot better & finished to me as well, its just that for the sake of function I dont think they matter.

I agree, on top water, I dont think it matters at all. I think on streamers, eyes are pretty important.
