I played around with lizards last summer by texas rigging them and zipping them along the surface around lillies like a frog bait. Ended up with three 2-pounders. It’s a bait I keep handy when I take the kids out during the summer. They rarely snag them and they like to watch them swim during the retrieve and every now and then they even work.

God I love technology! Sittin in the office watching the video and I can switch programs if the boss walks by… Awesome.

Thank you sir! I’ll be sure to take my YUM frogs and a pack of senkos. Any particular colors? I’ve got frogs in green with chartreuse bellies and senkos that are green pumpkin and chartreuse tails. Should I get more colors?

Thanks again,
Chris

Whoa! Cabella’s here I come. Slop gear shopping spree.

Thanks for the photos. I’m totally inspired

I saw some bluegill nests shallow so I started there for the first hour… Nothing. Then I went to the inside weed edge for an hour… Nothing. Then I went to the outside weed edge for an hour… Nothing. Then I tried inside the scum areas and got a couple bites but I didn’t have the right equipment to fish that area… Wait a minute, I guess I just answered my own question. In that situation I probably needed to fish the scum. Guess I need to get to Cabellas.

Or am I missing something else?

Thanks for all your advice,
Chris

Awesome! Thank you sir!

Thanks. I’ll give those spots a try. My boy is learning to use a spinning reel so it should be fun

Where is Shady Maple?

Spinnerbaits are my go-to bait but this year I’m going to force myself to use plastics and learn them.
