Sexy Dawg Topwater

July 11, 2017 by Clark Wendlandt

It’s the time of year when topwater really excels. You can catch fish on topwater when the water temperature reaches 55 degrees but May and June is the time when topwater really takes off, and the best conditions are when the water is clear. My favorite overall topwater bait is the Strike King Sexy Dawg. It’s a great casting walking bait that is easy to walk, it has rattles, and after throwing it a lot this Spring, I am convinced that it gets more bites than any other walking bait I’ve thrown. You can work it slowly or quickly with great results. This is a great casting bait. I just like to cover a lot of water with it and hold on for some great action.

The Strike King XD series of crankbaits are probably my very favorite lures to throw. The different sizes reach different depths depending on what you need for each situation. Check out this video for a more in depth explanation on how I like to fish each one!

Check out my turkey vest set-up! It’s got plenty of pockets for storage and a seat with backrest so you can sit down and take cover whenever the turkey start heading your way. Turkey season is one of my favorite times of the year, and this vest from Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's is the best I’ve ever used. #teamoutdoors #bassproshops #cabelas #turkeyhunting #truetimber TrueTimber ...

Finished the Sabine in 30th place. Honestly, I’m really happy with that finish and gained some valuable points! The fishing is tough here, but the people are friendly, the food is good, and crowd is awesome! #teamoutdoors #rangerboats #yamahaoutboards #yamahasponsoredangler #powerpole #thmarineteam #garminpro #fishgarmin #lithiumpros #truetimber #strikeking #sunline #ownerhooks #bassnation #basselite ...

Slipped a little bit today but still squeaked into the top 49... so I’ll be fishing tomorrow. I’ll need a mega bag to make the top 10.

Owner Hooks

Sharp hooks are key. You have to get the big fish in the boat, especially when the fishing is a little tougher. Owner Hooks #ownerhooks

Clark Wendlandt said even at the tough tournament, he knows he won’t miss a fish when he changes crankbait hooks to Owner hooks.

Finished day 1 in 36th with 7-14. I’m pretty happy to have a limit today, but I need to do it again tomorrow to fish on Saturday! Just topped the night off with some crawfish from The Crawfish Hole so all in all it’s been a good day.

2020 Bassmaster Angler of the Year

2020 Bassmaster Angler of the Year It is hard to put in to words how it feels to have the greatest accomplishment of my career occur in the context of the most chaotic year of my life, and I imagine many of yours too – 2020. But in the midst of all the chaos, my job, while disrupted for a few months, resumed after a few months thanks to the efforts made by B.A.S.S to provide a full season for us. I am so appreciative to them and my fellow anglers for pulling together to make this happen. And … Read More...
