Fish #3 on the Mepps Black Fury | Oklahoma Pond BFS Ultralight Session

Fish #3 on the Mepps Black Fury | Oklahoma Pond BFS Session

Fish number three on the Mepps Black Fury — Oklahoma pond, BFS ultralight baitcasting combo, and a retrieve that actually worked. Average Angler Life keeps it simple: one classic spinner, light gear, and a steady retrieve just fast enough to keep the blade spinning.

No extra rod tricks. No rushing it. The Black Fury flashed, the fish committed, and number three hit the board. You’ll see the BFS setup, the retrieve speed that made the difference, and how this inline spinner still produces when you let it do its job along the bank.

Perfect for BFS fans, ultralight anglers, and anyone who likes seeing a single spinner get the job done in real time.

Going for Fish Number 3… DENIED!

No Strikes, But the Lure Has to Be in the Water 🎣 | Average Angler Life

Going for fish number 3… and I got denied. No strikes this time, but here’s the truth — you still can’t catch them if your lure isn’t in the water!

Some days the fish just aren’t cooperating, and that’s okay. Staying out there, making casts, and keeping the lure working is how those slow sessions eventually turn around — or at least how you earn the next one.

You can’t catch them if the lure isn’t in the water.

Fishing is full of these moments. Denied today, maybe hooked tomorrow.
