Well......to say the least the pre-spawn, spawn and post spawn has been a little tougher this year, than the last two years for me.  I saw alot of big girls on beds, cruising but not alot of takers of what I was offering.  So we decided to head out to a new lake and see what we could do.  First fish came of a wind blown bank on a spinnerbait, next fish came off a chatterbait stroking it off the bottom, a few more picked up here and there and then this pretty lady decided to come out of the lily's and crush a Spro popping frog.  Lets say, that she was a joy to tango with.  I picked up a new to me Dobyns 766 flipping stick recently and thought what the heck, I'll see how it handles a frog over some lily's and grass.  Not too bad, she dug in....I dug in deeper and was able to coax her out and do a little dance.  Not the biggest that we've caught, but a nice improvement over what we have been catching.  A quick photoshoot, (no Jimmy Houston kiss) and she was back in her home to chase more frogs.  Weight on scale  6.34lb

 

 

Got to love those spro frog fish. Nice one.

Oh man, I've never gotten good with the frog. I would love to nail one that size on a frog. Nice fish!

Nice fish!  Congrats!

Awesome job! Beautiful fish!!

That's a beauty!

Nice job,alot of people fish those hollow bodies down here in south Florida. Keep your line wet and good things happen.

Good job! That is a nice looking bass.

This is a perfect example of why you need a scale, first look at that picture i thought that fish was at least 7.5 lbs

 

Beautiful fish!

Whew nice fish congrats.

Spro poppin frogs are wonderful. Just two week ago i caught a 7.5lb on a brown spro poppin frog.

Oh yeah, that's a SOW

FISH MORE......STRESS LESS

Nice bass..it's funny I took a friend out last night and he put on a frog and in mind mind I'm thinking well he isn't  going to get anything on that here but I'll keep my mouth shut and to my surprise he got a few on it...one pretty decent....now I need to go buy some...

That is one thing that I learned about bass fishing.....Always try something out of the ordinary.  Don't just keep using what has worked in the past, do something you would never think of.  I caught a few fish early this spring by throwing BIG worms over flats, and that is normally a WARM water tactic I use.  Always give them something different, and the results could pay out big time
