Frogs frogs frogs

[CaptMikeStarrett]

Single person charter today was focused on three goals. First was to catch a fly rod LGMouth. Two nice fish to the boat and on to the second goal. Caught some nice LGMouth on a frog to complete the second goal. The third was getting a snakehead.

The storm came in just as expected and it poured down 80% of the projected 30% chance of rain right down our necks. It rained hard for darn near an hour..Tide was way high and still coming in and LGMouth followed the water way back in the woods. Took a while to figure out the pattern but we got back on them. The frogs where so loud and everywhere tonight. We had several jump in the boat with us. It was crazy as they climbed up my leg and sat on my shoulder croaking right in my ear..

Two out of three goals in a trip ain't bad.

Thanks Mike. A good time as always. Getting them on the fly was best. Thanks for the tips.

Here's another shot "foghorn" before he got on the boat:

Beautiful evening.

Thanks, John

You were throwing those frogs on the fly rod? What is your hookup ratio with those weedless frogs? I have not had a ton of luck getting them hooked, plenty of bites just not a ton of fish caught. I catch more a round dinny than anything else. Love bass on the fly rod.

Not the one in the picture. Those big weedless frogs are tossed with spinning gear. As for hookup ratio, for me maybe 1 in 3. I think I'm a little too quick on the trigger. I did better with a Rebel Pop R. We were using a minnow pattern in white with the fly rod.

Hope that helps...

What John is not telling is the secret fly I found last summer. I have three in my fly box and from this point on I will refer to them as my precious.. nough said...

The rebel he used was a Rico. I like the top end baits and really enjoy when they return to the boat.
