Thanks everyone, went out yesterday with the 1/2 ounce and it was tough getting it through some spots but i made it work, i don't do alot of punching so never needed a big weight. Thanks for all the help.

Im not sure, at least thats what it looked like when i googled it, it's all over Mississippi lake.

Thanks.

Hi there, Just wondering if a 1/2 ounce weight is heavy enough for a punch rig, i will be punching some lillypads today, would usually use topwater but i don't think they will want topwater today according to the weather. Thanks

Thanks all, i guess i sort of wrote it wrong saying there are weeds, there are some weeds but mostly just that green slimy algae stuff, it grows on the bottom, it grows on the top and everything in between. I just googled it, it's called Blue- Green algae, iv'e tried plastic worms and such but it just collects all sorts of it. But the fish love it, they get right down and in the stuff. Really not sure what i will do come fall when the fish aren't very aggressive, is there any other kind of topwater lure thats a bit more finesse ? Thanks

Hi there, I fish a spot were there are lots of weeds and usually fish topwater to avoid the weeds, is there any thing i can fish around weeds in fall when the fish aren't biting topwater. Thanks.

Thanks all very helpful.

Hmm i was pretty sure it was bass, but for whatever reason they seem to be getting it now. Thanks.

Thanks, i try alot of different retrieves, maybe i will try just letting it sit there along time before moving it and see if that works.

Hey there, Lately I have been throwing alot of topwater frogs, i don't have a boat so i fish this spot very often, and i was wondering if they can get accustomed to seeing the same frog over and over knowing that it's a lure. Because when i started to fish topwater at this spot the fish would just come up and kill the thing over and over, now i can hardly get a blowup. Just wondering if they do that or if any of you have had this happen. I was thinking of getting a different type of frog such as a prop frog or something thinking that might help. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks, yup im addicted.

Hey guys thanks for all the tips, really appreciate it. I have cut the legs down very short on the frog, to like 1'' or so and went fishing this morning and caught two bass on the frog, one being 4 pounds, my PB. Thanks for all the help, was very helpful.

Thanks guys, it was definitely a pickerel, Thanks for all the help.

Thanks all. Very helpful. Bassin15

Thanks this really helped. Bassin15

Yes i always wait until i see the line swimming off or feel the fish otherwise it comes flying back at you at 100 mph LOL. But yes i can see when the blowup happens that the frog never even leaves the top of the water it just gets knocked out of the way. Thanks

Thanks i fish the wacky rig all the time and catch the odd fish on it. I will have to look into the inflatable rafts, my only concern is there is some sticks and other debris around, would hate to sink LOL. Thanks.

Hi there, Just wondering if any of you are having this problem, or if this is just a common thing, It's been perfect frog fishing weather here lately so i decided to tie on a frog, i had never caught a bass on a topwater frog before, so casted it out there over by a rocky wall with some vegetation just walking it back to the bank, about 10 casts in or so BAM! something came up and smacked it, the adrenalin hit me, i set the hook, and reeled in a nice little pickerel, i was so happy. But to cut to the chase, after that i kept fan casting that whole area and the awesome thing was that a kept getting these great blow ups. But the fish just kept missing the frog and iv'e heard that sometimes they will smack at it first to daze it then they come back right after and eat it so when they missed i just let the frog sit there for a few sec they proceeded to walk it back and it would just keep missing the frog, it was very annoying, If any of you have any solutions for this, it would be very much appreciated. P.s The setup i am using for fishing it is a 7' Medium/Heavy rod with a 6:4:1 gear ratio and 50 Pound Power Pro braid. I am using the Lunkerhunt Compact frog. Thanks Bassin15

Hi there, Im new here, hope to get some tips and help from all you experts. I have been bass fishing for the last 2 years, my Personal Best is about 2.5 pounds. I fish a couple local lakes close to my home, but they are pressured lakes so there a bit harder to catch. I should mention i am a bank angler and do not have access to the whole lake, there are very few places to fish from shore on my lake, but i have found one good spot where the bass seem to be pretty stacked but i am having problems catching them. And i hope to find some help here. Anyway just wanted to say hi, i will post some of my questions in another post so this one's not so long. Thanks Bassin15
