Last year I set myself a goal to finally catch a pike on a topwater frog my brother wouldn't stop banging on about. Over that year it quickly became a favourite bait to use and with the river season well and truly started I wanted to see how quickly I could catch my first pike on it.
This venue wasn't available on my last visit to the river and with a shallower faster paced river, with features, weedy slacks and good visibility I'd seemed the ideal spot to go and chuck my favourite topwater lure the Storm SX-Soft Bloop Frog
I stuck to the lighter BFS setup but was really pushing it chucking out this slightly heavier lure
There's nothing quite like topwater pike hits and throughout the day I had some decent ones but the first one was absolutely spot on!
