fishingguy28 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 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.... here was a little guy to start him off a few casts later and the size increases a little!! and again it was about time i was thnking of putting on of those bad boys on... 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..... each of us with our double header pic!! and then i started to DOMINATE!!!! 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!!!!!

Tacklebuster Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Great day out there, especially when you can get your buddy into the fish too. I like the way they incrementally kept getting bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlesn Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 1 simple tip for the horny toad. Keep throwing it. It's one of the best baits on the market. I don't leave home without em. Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunkerbasshunter Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 those look ike some awesome bass! Great report! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishingguy28 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 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....

charlesn Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 (edited) 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. Charles Edited July 23, 2007 by charlesn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishingguy28 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 alright that pretty much what i was doing... guess i'll just keep pluggin away until i get confident in the bait!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Bass Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Nice job! You'd be surprised what kind of monster bass live in Ontarios smaller lakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Clemens Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
