Who wants some slop????

[MallenManson]

Put my boat in this spot yesterday. Not much luck, weather was bad and it was not a good time, but wanted to take advantage of being rained out of work.

Caught a small bass on a Bobby's Perfect Frog and a nice pike on a Dixie Dancer spinnerbait. Bugger bent my bait AND the swivel!

Had 3 decent bass come off on their final leap near the boat. Guess that's what I get for openin the hooks up to get a better hookset!
Have big hopes for this lake! Here's some pics.

Very purdy...I wish we had lakes like that in Southern Indiana...mostly we have submerged vegetation here.

This lake has a ton of that too, as well as submerged stumps and logs. Gotta be careful navigating it, there's so much junk in the water.
I haven't even checked out a couple other major pad areas in the lake yet

WOWOOWOW!! That look great mallen! I'm amazed that you're not tarring them up on a frog!! When it gets sunny fish around the pads with flowers, bugs will be attracted, and that will attract frogs, and blue gill, natrally the bass are gonna come to all that!

Yeah, it was wrong time of day and overcast, rain threatening all day. The bit was pretty slow.

I was concentratin on the frog and the spinnerbait. As Arnold said "Quick, get to the choppah". I mean, "Ah'll be baak"

I doubt it gets alot of pressure. It's pretty shallow and the real boats tend to be out in the deeper waters. But now that Mallen knows about it.....cue the music....

And Texas rigged 10" Ribbon tail worms like the Gambler Blueberry Muffin and Yum Green Pumpkin Purple flake worms! fish them on 3/16 or 1/4 oz wieghts 3/0 or 4/0 hooks and hang on! (part of my Guntersville arsenal this summer, works great around the pads!!).

That's somethin I haven't tried before!
Found a new spot today as well, although it was without a pole!
Always wanted to try Elk Lake, due to the 100s of stumps you can see from the road.
Did a job in Elk Lake today and we checked it out at lunch. Quite a nice selection of lily pads in among those stumps! Turns out, there are some largemouth in there but smallmouth and musky are the kings.
An hour away but I'll be hitting it Saturday or Sunday
