Rough-ground venues tend to fish when the sea is rough and coloured, with the first of the flood tide best and, when the sea is calm and clear, flood tides that coincide with dusk or dawn

For fishing topwater frogs in the grass, a heavy rod paired with a high-speed reel is best

The size of your reel determines how well it sits on your rod, how much line it will hold, and how much power it will give you to bring in what you hook

Thats why its so important to master using your thumb to control your cast
