hey guys, a buddy and i went out to a small lake we know yesterday in hopes of catching a few buckets... 8) 8)

 

 

i gave hime a trusty top water that i knew would be successful due to the conditions when we arrived.... about 2 mins after we started fishing the magic of the top water lure had begun.... :lol:

 

 

here was a little guy to start him off

it was about time i was thnking of putting on of those bad boys on... :lol:

 

but i didn't.... i wanted to try out some new baits i had purchased... which i never ended up catching any fish on.... if anyone has any pointers of successful techniques used to fish horney toads (zoom) let me know!!!

 

anyways there was about a 2 1/2 hour lull where nothin was caught....we had a little snooze on the boat and then i thought i would give it one last crack.... here are the results.....

it was a great feeling..... i found a system that was working, stuck with it and it paid off.....all fish were released to catch another day!!!!!!!!

 

 

hope you enjoyed the report!!!!!

Wow, the incredible "increasing size" pond/ If you stayed out there til this morning your fish would probably be into the 20 lb range! lol

 

Great report, looks like you had a blast!

well that's what i have heard about the horny toad, resulting in me buying about 6 packs in various colours.... i noticed when i am casting them out there however they tend to sink and sometimes turn over... is thos ok or should i be presenting them different???

 

i am rigging them weedless with a 5/0 wide gap hook or corkscrew hook...

 

thanks for the info....

I fish em on 65 lb braid with an Owner 6/0 EWG. They will sink if you are not retrieving them but I've caught them while they are sinking as well.

 

They will turn over but it's not a big deal. Often once it is chewed up, I'll flip it over and re-hook it to get a few more fish out of it.

Nice job! You'd be surprised what kind of monster bass live in Ontarios smaller lakes.

You caught more bass in one day than my wife and I did in an entire week ... last week. Way to go with finding the right combination to trigger strikes. Nicely done.
