splashhopper Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 nothing like the post by "24/7" today.... AWESOME post btw As some of you know, I have just started top-water fishing about 4 weeks ago... what a "blast".. Here are some of the results over the last 5-6 days . a "head shot"... amazing how much weeds I can see between its mouth and the gill plate Fishing the lily pads... first cast about 10 feet from shore... WHAMMO! on my newest colour of :scum frog"! Check out the size of his bucket > Went out tonight on my "practice pond" and had a very pleasant surprise. The guy who owns the house that I park in front of brought his canoe down tonight and asked if I wanted to join him Turns out he has watched me fish this top water stuff for a few days from his yard and was "impressed"... yeah, I told him.. I have some "great coaches" from this site He toured me around the edges where I fish from shore to give me another "point of view"... Interesting that I was fishing the same spots as he was showing me, but I was targeting the water further off shore than I needed too my first cast in "to" the spot I always take my first cast of the day "from",,,, and surprise... Kapow! This one I caught after I pulled the frog down from a tree ON the bank... it barely hit the water and BAM ! I gave him my favourite colour of "Scum frog" for his "guide service". I have been trying to set up a trade for my services for a tinny or a canoe with an Electric motor.... tonight just makes me that more focused on that little project...lol Splashhopper
Lunatic Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 gotta love those frogs!! they are my go to bait.I use a spro bronzeye most often. although they are on the expensive side they do work really well. i lost my favorite one to a pike on my last outing. so i only had the black frog left that was brand new so i worked it in a bit and fished using it the whole time. i had 12 or so LM blow up on it. i was fishing really thick heavy weeds. i didnt land 1. haha i either lost them in the weeds,or i didnt get the hooks set in good enough. i usually land 8 times out of 10. but i had fun and it appeared that i was the only one getting any action. keep the pics coming!
Rich Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Good job man! I got hooked on scum frogs a couple years back.. haven't used one this year at all I don't think. Guess I better bust it out next time I'm bassin!
