Jeff Winger Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Unless I am fishing a mudhole, swimbaiting 99% of a trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassindon69 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Not sure how my % would play out. Most of the lakes I fish are weedless so on them I'm 100% at day fishing. At Night I'm about 50% If I do fish where there are weeds or mats I like to toss a frog now and then for fun. Never did any punchin yet because I just stay to busy with frogs or swimbaits. It's still about fun to me. I don't really give a damn what people get them on as long as they are having fun. But the rush of a swimbait bite has yet to be beat (for me).

SPEEDBEAD Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 I fish for fun and to relax. If a swimbait is the best tool for the job on a given day, that's what I throw. I still can't think of anything better than getting on a good topwater big rat bite but if that's not working, I'll fish jigs, flukes, etc. Like Don, as long as you are catching 'em....

Dsouth Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 85% of the time I work Swim-Baits and the other 15% I’m in the slop working frogs both rubber + hollow body with a double BB + 3:16 Minnow mixed in. Getting away from working the big baits is relaxing and you can’t beat a good top-water frog day. A little CT slop porn for you guys.LOL.

Good looking stuff... some of the water down here gets so thick that I have seen fish come up out of a hole to blast a frog, they land somewhere else on the mat and can't get off, they flop around until they make it back in. Funny stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilcatfish Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 25% if I am fishing with my fishing buddies. they aren't into swimbaits yet. This is kind of my situation. Some of my buds are still swimbait skeptics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny stuff. I will say next to swimbaits, frogs are my favorite. I love fishing them in tiny ponds that get covered with weeds early in the summer, most people would dismiss these spots but a frog does the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I catch my biggest fish out of grass.... my two biggest were in less than a foot of water, 85+ degree weather, holed up in grass. I think people are missing some of the biggest fish in the lake, right under their feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
