Poche emphasizes the power of using a small boat in shallow water, allowing anglers to navigate through challenging spots like Beaver Dams. Frog fishing requires specialized gear. He discusses his ideal setup, recommending a 7'3" heavy-power rod for accurate casting and reliable hook sets. Poche explains the benefits of using a high speed reel when working your bait through thick grass and lily pads.
Similar to offshore bass fishing, finding prime spots requires hard-earned knowledge. Poche shares how to identify prime fishing spots in shallow waters. He studies maps and is always on the lookout for subtle spots like like ditches, cuts, and beaver dams. Areas of change will help you pinpoint locations where bass are likely to gather. These spots create currents and serve as pinch points, attracting bass searching for forage like bluegill.
Throughout the video, Poche provides insights into bass behavior and feeding patterns. He highlights the importance of listening for the distinct popping sounds of bluegill, indicating the presence of bass. Hunting bass in shallow water is best accomplished with cat-like reflexes. fast response times and accurate casts to environmental cues will help you capitalize on short-lived opportunities.
Follow Keith Poche's advice to enhance your skills, increase catch rates, and enjoy catching quality bass where your instinct takes over.

Nice fishing Keith!
And he is killing it on the Sabine
Keith makes a great point on popping frogs! I never saw the infatuation with popping frogs. I know they're a good option at times; a mayfly hatch, when bass feed heavily on bluegills, for instance. The fact remains that the trade-off of sound vs. weedlessness is one I'm simply not going to make 95% of the time. That's generally the whole reason I employ a frog; for it's ability to come through ANYTHING without snagging. Good stuff! 🐸

Poppin frogs are for open log areas, stumps, etc. not grass and weeds. I'd rather use a whopper plopper or buzzbait in those situations, but sometimes they just want that darn frog.
Did he jump a wingdam to get back there too? #heyoo #toosoon ??

Yes, straight braid. Keith was using 50lb, but one could always bump up to 65lb for even heavier applications. You can find the braid here: www.tacklewarehouse.com/Spiderwire_DuraBraid_Braided_Line_Moss_Green/descpage-SWDB.html
It was like that last year where every fish counted

A high speed reel is always better for frogs. You are fishing a very limited target zone, you want to be able to cast alot, you also need to be able to reel in the line fast to hook set and lastly retrieve the fish fast to keep it out of muck.
