Everything You Need to Know Fishing with Whopper Plopper

The past two years have seen a breakthrough for the bait. “I first picked one up in 2013 on Lake of the Ozarks and didn’t give it much of a thought or a chance. I wish I would have thrown it more back then,” begins Watson. It is used by many of the top pros, regardless of whom they are sponsored by. “I don’t know of any other of my friends or competitors who don’t use it,” Watson says. However, choosing the best whopper plopper color could be difficult at times, and that is what this article would help you solve. Whopper Plopper Sizes The Whopper Plopper comes in a 90, 130 and 190 size and is available in both rattling and silent versions. The majority of the time, Watson is fishing the 130 sizes. It’s what most people make us 98% of the time. The smaller version does have its time and place, and this is due to the weather conditions and where you make use of it. Use the smaller version when it is slick and calm. Places with a muddy bottom aren’t bad either. Double Plopper Buzzbait New this year is a cross between a buzz bait and the Whopper Plopper. It features two “plopper blades” on the wireframe and skirt of a buzz bait. What many like about this bait, besides the great action, is the ability to pause the buzz bait and keep it afloat. People have been experimenting with it, and most people believe it is an excellent choice when the buzz bait bite is on because it has the same plopping action the lure is known for.

Bass eat topwater baits long before most fisherman consider using them. If you’re waiting for hot weather you’re missing one of the best topwater bites of the year! You need to start now because most of the giant bass that get caught on topwater are caught early in the season. Of course, you’ll need to adapt your technique a bit to account for the cooler conditions, but that’s what we’re here for. 

Consistent topwater action during the cool spring months requires patience. You’ll need to fish slower than you’re used to, and you’ll be targeting a smaller percentage of fish than you would be in Summer. However, that smaller segment includes a lot of the biggest bass in the lake. This bite has a lot more to do with cadence and speed of retrieve than it does water temperature. Don’t get hung up on a certain water temperature, instead, be cognizant that if you’ve been able to wear a T-shirt in the afternoon in the past week or two, the topwater bite has potential. These fish are sitting extremely shallow so they’re able to find warm water pockets, even when the main lake remains cool. 

Again, the key is speed. Focus on baits that cover a lot of water (side to side) while moving slowly toward the boat. Walking baits, poppers, and frogs, are all great options. Additionally, baits like a buzz bait (with some adaptations) and a whopper plopper are also great options. Below you’ll find links to the EXACT baits that we use from each category, including our favorite colors for each model.

wiski – marina finding out julia still has magic? (in the world in my head where most things from canon are the same but marina lives)

Ok I got way overboard with this and wrote a near 4 page drabble so I will put it under the cut. I never wrote Wiski before so it was nice to try! Thank you for challenging me :D

I also posted it on Ao3 for an easier read

“Jules, I don’t thinkyou should go”

“Well I am going, youdon’t have to come with me if you don’t want to. ”

“ She’s crazy! Who knowswhat she can do to you. ”

“Honestly Q, after lastyear, Marina is not as scary as you think.”

This shut Quentin’sconstant arguing for a moment. Julia felt bad for bringing up againthat she was raped and didn’t called him because he was in anotherland doing gods knows what. No she called Marina. And despite theirfight and bickering, she knew Marina would come, and she did. She puther back to her feet and when she needed help to kill Reynard, sheshowed up again. This had cost her a finger and her cat’s life, butMartin had open the portal quick enough to save her form moreatrocities. And when they got double crossed by Quentin’s friendPenny and got sucked out of Marina’s apartment, Julia had managed alast desperate attempt to stab the fucker and she’d hit him in theeye. Marina had finished the job, Martin was dead, Penny brought herback on earth against her will. Yeah fun stuff that both frienddidn’t want to remember right now.

“I’ll be fine. Go orderpizza and watch Stranger Thing with Josh. ”

“Can’t belive you watchit without me. ”

Julia smirk and stole thecigarette Quentin had just lit, still wondering when he’d picked upthe habit. She knew it was all Eliot fault but he use to chastise herfor smoking, now he was doing more than her. She kissed his cheekedand walk away, knowing when she’d come back both boys would nerd outin front Quentin’s laptop at the Physical Kid cottage and she wouldtease them not to have seen the finale coming.

As she walked the fewblocks she was from Marina’s apartment, Julia finished her cigaretteand wondered what had brought Marina back to New York. After Reynardcorpse was burn to ashes, Marina had given up all pretense of nothaving been scared by the bastard. She had went on a trip around theworld in hope to find a solution for her missing fingers and to learnnew powerful spell. She’d stop answering Julia’s email at the sametime magic died.

Then Quentin had met Petein one of those desperate hedgewitches house that still believe thatcould do magic but didn’t practice enough. Apparently he’d takenMarina’s spot as the leader of New York which said a lot about thesorry state the Hedgewiches were overall. Pete had mentionned Marinahad came back a few days ago and since then, Julia couldn’t stopitching to go see her.

When Marina open the doorof her flat, she looked at Julia less with surprise than eagerness.She’d lost weight and her hair had grown even longer. She looked sickand yet, had her eternal red lipstick and killer eyeliner trait. Evenworn out, she was herself more then ever. A sence of calm took overJulia that surprised her; she haven’t realize that she’d been worriedabout her since they were appart. Seeing her alive, in those times ofdays, was more than a welcome sight.

“If you are about tostart crying, please don’t. ” Marina said in her eternal sarcasticvoice.

“ Was more thinkingpunching you in the face for disapearing. ” Julia said back in thesame tone.

Both girl looked at eachother for half a second before breaking into a smile. When Juliahugged her, Marina didn’t pushed away and even hugged back. Which wasa victory in itself.

“Who ratted me out?”Marina said, letting Julia enter her underwhelmingly boring andfurniture less appartment.

“Pete.”

“Figures, I am sure hewant you to kick me out and send me back to France. He must shit hispants, fearing that I am gonna come from him. ”

They went into thekitchen were only a table with three chairs, a fridge and a microwavewere present. The lack of decoration meant that she didn’t entend tostay. But yet, she seemed doing something big. There were poulticesand herbs everwhere, notes and books in different language and even abook she saw in Quentin’s room of all the plopper’s exercise forfirst year at Brakebills.

“Something like that. ”Julia said sitting at the table while Marina went for two glass ofwine and a half empty bottle. “When he saw me, he almost hid beingQ, it was embaracing. ”

“Let him swim in hisshitty pants, being a leader there don’t mean anything when magic isdead. ”

The bitterness inMarina’s voice was a melody she’d heard in so many magicians andmagic user in the past months that Julia’s heart felt tired. How shewish she could just give whatever she had to everyone and let themhave magic. They’d fought and jinx each other. But at least, theworld would be what it suppose to be, not this pale replica that theywere living in.

“Your finger are stillholding? ” She simply asked, pointing to the magically reconstrucedfinger Marina had in her hand. She’d explain the whole castingprocedure with an healer from the underwold and a magicians inCalifornia and it looked strangely like darker magic that Julia wascomfortable to deal with. But she get it. A magicians without fingersis like a bird without wings.

“They are not gluedtogether by magic Jules, they regrew. So yes, they are fine thankyou. ”

The conversation diedlike it was started: quickly and dryly. There was so many things shewish she could ask her and tell her. But there was also a lot ofunsaid that needed to be adressed first.

“What brought you backhere? ” She finally ask, knowing it was better to ask now than tomake the conversation linger.

“You. ” Marina saidcrossing her legs and putting her trademark smile on her red lips.

“Me?”

Alright, this one, Juliahaven’t seen coming.

“I know people, thatknow people. You see. And… I know someone that was at a certainparty with a lower god of fuckery. I tought you’d keep away fromthose assholes. ”

Bacchus. Gods, the simpletought of his permanent alchoolic smell and his terrible sweet breathmade her remember the whole night and how wasted she’d been. Thatpink drink was probably not meant for mortal and totally fucked herup.

“I was there for Q. ”Julia said after a large gulp of her wine. Anything to make her stopthinking of the aftertaste of that pink drink.

Marina leaned her smallframe against the table and went close to Julia, visibly excited.Last time she saw her that way, they were burning a god corpse in herbackyard.

“So is it true? Youstill have magic?”

Julia had played eversenario she could in her mind to explain to Marina that she still hadthat spark and that she was trying to find the root of it. She haddozen of iner monologue trying to find the best angle to put it sothe girl in front of her wouldn’t brand her as crazy or delusional.And there she was, being ask that question. Once again, julia feltMarina had reminded her that she had powerful connexion wherever shewas. Always being able to surprise you when you think you’d seeneverything of her. And this is why, deep down, Julia admire her.

So instead of tellingher, and let’s admit it to show off a bit, she did her spark. It wasbecoming easier and easier to bring it to the surface, like it camefrom her and not from a source outside of her. She was that spark.

Marina’s eyes wereglowing with eagerness but, also, jealousy and awe. The samebefoddled look everyone gave her when she show her power. The oldergirl put her hand over the spark, feeling it’s heat, confirming it’struth.

“How. ” She said aftera moment. Making Marina speechless was a first for Julia, and shecouldn’t help but swell with pride.

“I don’t know. I’mtrying to find out. ”

“Let me help you. ”

Marina had taken her handthe moment she stopped casting her small spell. She couldn’t tellthat two of those finger had been missing a few months ago. The wayshe was clutching her was real and hard as ever.

“There are people tryingwith me too. ”

“I don’t care. ”

“They are fromBrakebills. ”

There was an hesitation.Because Marina knew Eliot and Margo from being one year their senior.Because she knew that Julia and Quentin were still friend. Becauseshe knew that they fucked with the three of them. And now they willhave to put that aside for a common good. She knew Q would be able todo this. Marina’s pride tough, was another monster to tackle.

“ Alright. ”

“No fighting, bitching,straching with them. I don’t want to babysit. ”

Marina rolled her eyesand stuck her little finger.

“Pinky swear. Whateverit cost to bring magic, I’ll be there. ”

Julia grinned at Marina’sreadyness. She linked her little finger to hers in a juvenile promisethat had nothing to do with a word as bonds. But probably meant more.

Magic had brought themtogether, they will bring it back together.

What the Hell is Happening in Emmerdale? (Theory Time)

Get a treat and some tea folks, this one is long. I have been reading through different people’s opinions on what might be coming, running around after ‘spoilers’ left on the DS forums and using my general gut instincts.

What the hell is happening in Emmerdale? Here is what I came up with or Amanda Comes Up With More Theories to Add to the List! What the Hell is Happening in Emmerdale is shorter though.

Anyway…

Dropped Storylines

Charity and Frank

Last we saw them they had made out/possibly slept together and then everyone went on vacation for a few months. In fact, there is a Metro article implying that Frank is playing Charity, but then the two of them seemed to disappear and so did the interest in the couple. This was back in February.

Moira and Pete

They managed to kiss and sleep together and not reveal it till much later on in the week it happened. Then nothing came of it. Not yet at least. That was back in December.

Rushed Storylines

Robert and Aaron

We all know the story here, but since their engagement, they have been on a roller coaster ride. Dealing with more issues than Vouge the two are always challenged and pushed forward too quickly.  I know they had to move things forward because of Lucy’s pregnancy and Isobel needing to leave for exams, but they could have easily held off and given the pair mini stories (even comedic stories) until Liv or Chas returned. Instead, we got a lot of rushing, drama, and sadness instead.

Victoria and Adam

This is still fresh. Everyone knows how I feel about this but yeah. Their marriage broke up within a two-day span. Just so Adam can pull a Ross and declare they were on a break when it all comes out that he cheats on Victoria next week. Sigh. Double sigh. That’s all we need to know about that.

Story Threads Left Open

Emma

Emma seems to have gotten away with what she has done. Kind of. She hasn’t managed to get away from it in her mind.  In fact, she has turned to religion which is fine. However, as quite a few people have predicted, she is starting to grow a complex. She thinks she is about everything and is quoting bible verses all over the place.  She is cracking even further, and that might have consequences for not just herself and her family but the whole town.  

Cain and Harriet

Their storyline with stolen phones, making money for the family, hiding it in the church and sleeping together are so general and random I assume they are just setting them up a big summer story. Not that I don’t enjoy seeing Harriet have some fun. She has had a rough year so far. Let her ride the Cain pony. Horse. Oh god, I can’t believe I wrote any of that.

Vadam friendship with Rebecca

What the hell is that about? Out of nowhere, Rebecca is friends with both Victoria and Adam. It was clunky, plot plop and just confuses me.  It is an open thread that could go anywhere. Rebecca is an open thread that can go anywhere. So….

Rebecca

Rebecca’s exist is an open plot thread. She has butted in on everything Robert and Aaron since she appeared. She isn’t connected to her family (where was she for Lachlan and his day to come home from prison?), and she seems to be attaching herself to random people at random times. Dropping random plot points like a little plot plopper.  Everything she says and her existence is suspect.  

What does this all mean for the Summer aka Theory Time!

This won’t be as stunt driven, but it will be equally as quirky and interesting and probably non-linear.” – Iain MacLeod

That quote above (thanks to @mygodthefeels for finding the article for me!) is from a Radio Times article with Iain Macleod outlining what might happen this year. Some of it has come true, and some haven't but this line stood out to me.

Non-linear storytelling. What if all of these dropped, rushed and hanging story threads all lead up to one big event. Everything isn’t as we know it to be and we all have to sit back and wait for the pieces to come together in big summer event? I mean, it makes sense. We have had so many random events happen (except for Tracy’s storyline. She is the only one that is intended to be filler) they have to be connected in some way?

Theory #1: This is All in Emma’s Head

We all know Emma is cracked. We love her but she not doing well mentally. She is starting to throw herself into religion which might give her a god complex. Just makes her mental break worse. She is thinking things are happening what aren’t happening. She is putting people together that wouldn’t be together. Her mindset is messing with what is truly going on in the town.

This theory falls under the ‘Dallas’ clause. Dallas used the ‘It was Just a Dream, ’ and it screwed up a lot of character development, and the spin-off shows stories.  Emma having a mental break and changing storylines could affect character development and what is happening in their lives. It would be hard to do without screwing up quite a few events (Ashley’s death and Rhona’s marriage to a monster come to mind).  

Theory #2: We Don’t Know the Half of It!

As I wrote earlier, we aren’t getting the whole story as an audience. We are being told the story by an unreliable narrator.  Events that we should be seeing are happening off screen, character motivations are all over the place, and all the little plot threads and holes are there for them to fill out this summer in ‘SHOCKING TWISTS!’.

I mean, I wouldn’t mind this happening, but that is a lot of work for one big reveal in the Summer or even the Fall. Then again, the reveal could affect the future of the show for years to come. I would be impressed if this is what happened, that takes a lot of planning and hoping the audience sticks around to see the final result.  

Theory #3: Things are as they Seem

Say this ‘non-linear storytelling’ MacLeod was talking about might be for something else altogether. What if they just screwed up the first half of the year and now they have to fix things in the summer to set the course right for Fall and the Winter stories? This could be happening, and we all need to guard ourselves for this possible outcome. They just screwed up royally. I don’t want to believe it, but it’s not bad to have in the back of your head.

Until everything that has been building explodes, I will hold onto so many theories. There are so many ways things can go, and I want to have hope that Emmerdale writers will surprise us at every turn. It has been a rough winter and spring for these characters, maybe the summer will reveal some of that pressure and give us some answers.

If you made it this far thanks for reading! What do you think? 

[chicityyaker]

So the @_river2sea_ Double Plopper killed it for me last season but after a dozen or so violent strikes, and big bass catches, one of the arms broke off. Would love to see the arms made a bit sturdier to prevent or prolong this from happening. Anyway, the lure flat out produces so I grabbed a few more for this season. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Subscribe to my channel ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ www.YouTube.com/ChiCityYaker ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #kayak #kayaking #kayakfishing #bass #bassfishing #largemouthbass #bassdaily #urbanfishing #urbanangler #bassnation #fish #fishing #actionshot #kayakangler #fishdaily #yakangler #youtuber

Everything You Need to Know Fishing with Whopper Plopper

The past two years have seen a breakthrough for the bait. “I first picked one up in 2013 on Lake of the Ozarks and didn’t give it much of a thought or a chance. I wish I would have thrown it more back then,” begins Watson. It is used by many of the top pros, regardless of whom they are sponsored by. “I don’t know of any other of my friends or competitors who don’t use it,” Watson says. However, choosing the best whopper plopper color could be difficult at times, and that is what this article would help you solve. Whopper Plopper Sizes The Whopper Plopper comes in a 90, 130 and 190 size and is available in both rattling and silent versions. The majority of the time, Watson is fishing the 130 sizes. It’s what most people make us 98% of the time. The smaller version does have its time and place, and this is due to the weather conditions and where you make use of it. Use the smaller version when it is slick and calm. Places with a muddy bottom aren’t bad either. Double Plopper Buzzbait New this year is a cross between a buzz bait and the Whopper Plopper. It features two “plopper blades” on the wireframe and skirt of a buzz bait. What many like about this bait, besides the great action, is the ability to pause the buzz bait and keep it afloat.

Use the smaller version when it is slick and calm. Places with a muddy bottom aren’t bad either.

Double Plopper Buzzbait New this year is a cross between a buzz bait and the Whopper Plopper. It features two “plopper blades” on the wireframe and skirt of a buzz bait. What many like about this bait, besides the great action, is the ability to pause the buzz bait and keep it afloat. People have been experimenting with it, and most people believe it is an excellent choice when the buzz bait bite is on because it has the same plopping action the lure is known for. Go-To Colors  This might not seem as simple as it pertains looks. However, Black and white are my go-to color choices for topwater and it simply comes down to confidence. People have experienced the best success with topwater baits that are a solid color instead of translucent ones. My top two Whopper Plopper colors are Powder (white) and Loon (black).”

Rod and Reel Selection

Rod and reel selection usually comes down to personal preference. For most, they would prefer a much longer rod than many others use, and this reasoning makes a whole lot of sense. “There is no finessing with this bait. If you have the strength you can make use of a heavy rod in at least a 7’6” size to get longer casts. The long rod and braided do all of the work and the fish hook themselves.”

Retrieves The beauty of this bait is that it can be cast and retrieved and catch fish. ‘I don’t do much more than cast it out and bring it back. Part of the adjustments you can make is how fast or slow  reel it.’ The deciding factor for how fast you can retrieve the bait are water temperature and how the fish are acting that day. Varying retrieves speeds is the only change that would happen when fishing this bait. Others have experimented with different retrieves and had success. “Some will pause it and then pull it like a topwater prop bait.” Targets The Whopper Plopper will work anywhere that bass will strike a topwater, but for some people, it comes down to rocks. “I Places with big chunk rock, transitions to rocks and broken up pieces of rock are all good places to throw it.”

Modifications

There are not many things needed for catching a bass on a Whopper Plopper. Take it out of the package, cast it out and then reel it in. One small modification you can do is to change the hooks to the hooks that come on the saltwater version of the bait, the 4X strong tin trebles. “They are a little longer and built for saltwater fish, so they hold up better.” The Whopper Plopper works across the country and has a knack for getting big bites.
