Why “Frogs,” you ask? Because I wasted almost the entire morning throwing a frog without any results, that’s why 
. The water level has dropped about 2-3 feet since earlier in the week and the area I was fishing at last Monday was really shallow today.
On Monday, I was in waist-deep water when I reached that clump of grass, this morning I wasn’t even up to my knees. I waded way out past all that grass, at least another 25 feet and threw a frog, with no takers. I then came back and walked along the shore, stopping every now and then to wade out as far as I could go and threw the frog onto and into the grass, again, with no results.
Then with about 15 minutes left, I switched to a Senko and caught this fish…and that was the only bite I had out there this morning.
Wish the fishing would have been a little better for you Nomad, but hey, you got out there… Man, what can you say about Senkos? If you have the patience to fish ‘em, they’re golden…
Shhhhhhhh! Don’t tell anyone
Ah, it’s all good, Rob. I was bound and determined to try a frog and I gave it the old college try…not sure if it’s something I’m doing wrong, if I’m using the wrong color (green with white bottom), or if the bass just weren’t there due to the lower water levels or, they weren’t in the mood for frog this morning.
At least you tried Nomad, but don’t give up on frogs, it’s sure exciting when a bass busts-up on a frog. Try and find some pads or water chestnuts. Looks like Idong is pretty much all open water except for the bit of grass, but almost all the lakes down my way are all covered with pads and water chestnuts during the summer and frogs are a blast.
Oh, nice bass Nomad
Steve,
Except for some really shallow ones, I don’t know of too many lakes up here that fit that criteria (lily pads, water chestnuts) and the only reason Idong has all that vegetation along the shore right now is because while the water level was very low earlier this spring, the grass had a chance to grow.
Nomad, the lake on 34 that you and I went to a couple of years ago gets like that in the summer, even out in the middle…
Well let’s lock and load then, buddy!
I’m all for it, but it’ll be a week or two before I can get back out there.
