Topwater soft plastic frogs.  I've been having the best luck on a Damaki Air Frog.

 

Which hooks do you like to use with the air frogs?

 

None of my local stores carry the ones I have seen being used so I am going to have to place an online order

6/0 owner beast unweighted works well for me.

I got this one the other day hiding in the gator grass.

Nice one.  Is that your boat behind you in the pic?  What kind is that?  Chris

Catching nothing in Gainesville. I hate it here. 

 

Every post is negative. Worst area I have ever fished. 

 

The bass are here, they are just impossible to find. I didn't see one bed on Santa Fe yesterday. Makes no sense to me.

That sucks!I was just up there for the gatornationals and was goin to bring a pole for Saturday after qualifying. Guess Im glad I didn't!

 

Seems like there is some nice water up there too.

the weekend before last I went out and seen a few bedding bass, but a lot of empty beds. figured out to burn and jerk flukes which a hardly use lately worked great.

The bass are still bedding. A lot of the catches I had over this past wknd, were spilling eggs.

On Saturday my brother, father, friend and I caught a total of 20 under 2 hours. I was fishing a Berkley Havoc Pit Boss, my friend was using a Strike King swim jig with a craw trailer, my dad was using a Zoom speed craw texas rigged, and my brother was using a Gambler Ugly Otter. I have a question if any one knows, once the fish are done bedding and they are ready to feed, where can they be located and feeding on what?

Fished in a tournament on Toho Sat.  I caught a few with Senko's and flipped up a couple on a craw.  My partner caught a nice one on a spinner bait.

Females will need a little time to recuperate, and after that they get their feeding on. They go into their post pawn patterns. With the water temps still down they will wander about. When the season starts transitioning into summer time patterns they slow down and stay out of the sun. You got to look for heavy cover that shades them during the day. 

Been on em with stick baits. Got a bunch up in Orlando with senkos.

Thats a Big O, locally made boat.  Very nice rough water ride and comfortable to fish from.

Hammered them on The Butler Chain today.

Biggest producer for me was a chatterbait, but the A Rig and single swimbaits were productive as well. My buddy caught a bunch of nice ones on a spinnerbait.

Checking in havent had a chance to fish with the new job. Will be upgrading the tackle box soon though

Hey, when you're rigging the air frogs, do you dig the spring deep down into the foam that's inside or just in the outer plastic? I tried rigging one and wasn't workin well at all. Not to mention the frog was rolling over on it's back with the shank exposed...no good

Screw the screw lock in the chin of the frog, under the nose.

I'm really surprised to hear that.

Have you fished Orange Lake & Newnans Lake?  (Rodman Pool?)

I'm not bass fishing per se, I'm on a quest strictly for peacocks in my area.  I went to a place where I'm sure peacocks inhabit.  I see some good looking water and sight cast, nail a mayan cichlid that took me all over the canal, maybe weight 3/4 lb., my highlight of the day, I thought it was a pea at first.  The bass were all over the place there, I catch a few in very short order 3-4# using only a crappie jig.  Had I used a senko (which I had a rod prepped in the car) I do believe it would have been one hell of a day.

Do you ever sleep haha!!

That's no joke!

I believe that Sir Snook and myself are the biggest night owls on Bass Resource.

In the wee hours of the morning, Sir Snook is one of the only member names I'll recognize on the roster.

I usually hit the sack between 2 and 3 AM (EST), never nap and very rarely get more than 6 hrs of sleep per night.

Well Roger it's good to see you back on here.  It was just awhile ago I was wondering where you've been.
