Bass Angler Magazine'sEditor-in-Chief Mark Lassagne and River2Sea pro staff Angelo Alorro kicked offthis Wednesday on the Water at the famed Kelsey Bass Ranch. With a Bait Barn boat courtesy of Manny Basiand some Bully Wa frogs courtesy of River2Sea they went to the bass ranch in searchof the frog bite.

The BAM anglersspent five hours on the lake and had an incredible 50 blow-ups. "It was a great day of fishing; anytimeyou can get ten bites an hour is a great day fishing," Lassagne noted.

They broke down the day with the following details:

They reeled in about a dozen and a half of the bites. They lost five after the hookup on the way tothe boat. Everything they caught came inat 2 to 4-lbs. "Most of what we gotin was in the 3-lb range; but we saw a couple that were at least fives blow upon the frog," explained Lassagne. One of their largest of the day, a fourplus, was caught punchin'. "I gotit on my second cast but I didn't punch that long and went back to the frogafter a few casts," said Lassagne.

"The bass were aggressive, today," remarked the BAM fishermen. "They came up and hit the line, theyblew up hard on the Bully Wa and some even jumped over it in the water,"he continued. Lassagne attributed theblow-ups on the line to the large amount of dragonflies they saw on the water.

Lassagne continued describing the difference in their choiceof frogs. He threw the Dirty White BullyWa with 65# McCoy braid, most of the day and Alorro gave it a go with a Mud Bird. "There was really no difference in thenumber of bites, how hard they hit or the hook up ratio between the dark andlight colors of each of our baits," noted Lassagne.

I was a member there for several years. Glad to see it's fishing well again. That place was just awesome back in the late 90's.
