Thanks for the content, glad you caught something! Looking forward to getting out to our local ponds soon as well.
Watched this one with the wife and she thought it was the most entertaining commentary so far with you getting the jerk bait hooked on your sleeve and then getting tangled in the line.
I fished that first pond for 30 minutes or so this afternoon (Thursday). I only fished the end with the reeds and got a couple strikes on a weightless Senko, but they weren’t really eating. A couple twisted the worm on the hook, but they weren’t eating it enough to expose the Texposed hook point.
