frog fever

pig n jig · 06-16-06, 09:11 PM

Its a fever Zooker must be fuelin'. I have had more fun fishing the slop. Zooker, you got to come home for Lamoka. They didn't kill the weeds off, people partioned it and won seeing it was going to cost the taxpayers $440,000.00 to treat the lake.Frogs are good now, until its really gets hot so the jig will work better. Here are some pictures of the weed/liilypad infested lake.The water is surprisingly deeper than I would have guessed.Some spots are 4 feet deep back in the slop. P N J

where's the slop? thats not even sloppy enough for a rat to walk on. gotta come down to florida and get into some real sloppy slopp. thats crankbait water in the pics, lol. with as hot as it gets and as much as the water level fluctuates makes it easy for it to grow so dang thick down here.

But grasshopper you fail to see the beauty in frog fishing. The hotter it gets the better it gets.

Must be nice! I don't have any lakes that ever remotely resemble that-most of the lakes I fish are what most folks would consider a highland lake-clear, deep, and very little cover, and no weed cover except in one about 75 miles south. I'd love to fish a lake that looks like that!

JB · 06-17-06, 02:29 PM

we fish water that has alot of vegetation, ya learn real quick that the trollin' motor makes chop suey out of the layers of green down there lol

Rebbasser · 06-17-06, 02:43 PM

True, JB-in the lake south of here that is full of hydrilla it can really clog up a TM-that's why I got a Kipawa prop. I've had to clean the shaft, but never the prop.

pig n jig · 06-17-06, 04:52 PM

Rebbasser, You know your always welcome, whenever you can .We won't have to fish the same lake twice if you don't want to on your stay here.There are 11 lakes within a hour drive time from my home.

Rebbasser · 06-17-06, 06:54 PM

PnJ, the same goes on this end. Actually, I will be up in that neck of the woods tomorrow-well, more in Bassintom's neck of the woods-I have a meeting in Princeton but will have no time to do anything else but this meeting

if i remember right you can't go to the right of the island i think because it gets REAL shallow..this is the north end of the lake in the creek channel. i always fished the south end next to the "swamp" my family still has a cabin there..

frogs?? only caught 15 bass today on them

Share some of your secrets Zooker, I can't get any strikes using a Scum Frog. Or are you using a Horny toad type lure?

We have a few lakes with hydrilla in them but no pads. I've often yearned to fish an area with lilly pads.

zooker · 06-20-06, 05:01 AM

bassguy
there is no lilly's round here just some thick grass..

zooker

JB · 06-20-06, 06:51 AM

i think any cover around your fav lake will work, those toads aren't picky!
zooker, I've gone through so many toads, some come back with a leg missin and then they want v.a. benefits rofl

You said it man. Never thought these things would take off like they did but I gotta hand it to the bait companys. They got a real WINNER here. A buzzbait,crankbait and topwater all rolled up in one that you can throw ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hawgin' · 06-20-06, 10:08 AM

Unfortunely I live in the Kansas City, MO area so I don't see much water like that with vegetation on it, however that has not really stopped me from fishing frogs anyway. One little trick I found that has really helped me with not missing as many is I now use a 5/0 straight shank weedless worm hook. I run the shaft of the hook through the groove on this frog, and I have good luck with hook ups this way.

zooker · 06-20-06, 07:11 PM

never a 5/0 they hang up to much in da grass wid de frog 4/0 ewg
