Frog Fishing in the Wind

Or maybe the Heddon Moss Boss would work. Never used one myself, but always saw them in stores. I suppose a Johnson silver minnow might work. I got one that is probably 30 years old, not sure if I ever got a bass on it, never used it much! Might have to dig it out of the back corner of the lure closet and try it again. The bass probably haven't seen one lately!

You won't throw a spoon where frogs go.

Haha - yeah, should have been more specific. Not Red Eye Wigglers or Doctor Spoons... smile

I mean weedless spoons. Jawbreakers are the easiest to find, but High Roller PT Spoons and Title Shot Spoons from Fin Tech are good too. Barney Spoons are the best, but nigh on impossible to get your hands on one.

I'm not saying those spoons don't work but I've never tried them. To me its all about conference. I'd throw a swim jig or spinnerbait first.

Confidence for sure... I love swim jigs, and I'm getting to like frogs, but there are a lot of situations where I'll throw a spoon before anything else. Have used them forever and have a lot of confidence in them. Plus they're efficient. You can cover a lot more water than you can with a frog a lot of the time.

Who says you can't combine a swim jig with a frog! I started playing with paddle tail toads on my swim jigs and have been pleasantly surprised at the results. Very good hook up percentage compared to a standard weedless toad. My son added his PB about a month ago burning one of these across emergent vegetation.

I wasn't thinking Daredevils but even the weedless ones are tough to use in the heavy scum. Our bass are still up very shallow and protected. This is the weirdest year ever. The 3/4 oz Live Target frog works in pretty stiff wind for me.

Hey everyone knows jaw breaker spoons do not work. Lets stop talking about them.

Pretty sure I still have a dent in my skull from a friend's jawbreaker coming back at 100mph after a missed fish. Had my back turned and it nailed me right in the back of the head. Sounded like a Kirby Puckett line drive.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.
