Since i started working a part time job on top of my full time, i havent been able to fish NEAR as much as i have wanted to.  Hell i didn't fish as much as i wanted to before the 2nd job, haha.  Anyway, i live a hundred feet from a very large lake, and the other night i was outside and a small frog hopped across my patio.  I decided i was wakin up with the sunrise to throw my favorite bait, a horny toad.  I woke up and found my way to the windblown bank which had grass and weeds floating.  After 20 casts, caught 3 fish with 2 more blow ups on the mats!  Love the topwater frog bite!  I love this time of year with all the storms and cloud cover, it makes it really hard to put the frog away!

An exciting way to catch fish, the fish in my photo hit a Horny toad, it was like someone dropped a bowling ball from a helicopter, one of the most explosive hits Iv ever had.

How much did that fish weigh? Awesome looking fish.

 

I have to say I have not fished the old horny toad nearly as much this year as last and the times I have were swings and misses. But I am insipred to break it out next time I hit the water.

For the last two months Booyah Pod Crasher Jr. is all I've been using. Every fish in the "FL Bragging Rights" has been caught on a top water frog :-)

 

I like to learn a new lure every few months, and I've been stuck on a frog for a bit too long, but I'm loving it :-)

When i started really getting into this a few years back, i couldnt stop throwin a frog either.  Then i got into other soft plastics, worms, hawgs, flukes, etc. Only in the last 6 months or so have i started throwin treble hook baits and spinners.  Every bait has its place but i still LOVE the buzz frog(its hard to beat that massive explosion!), the spook is gaining a lot of popularity as well.  I have no confidence in jigs at all.  thrown them quite a few times and i just cant produce at all with them.  I'll keep tryin though.

That fish weighed 9 3/4 but was only about 20 inches long, he was like a pumpkin.
