Fry
Fished the afternoon with my son. The bite was slow. A little wind may have helped. Only had 5-6 bites, no crappie. Mainly fished the grass close to shore and some tree laydowns.
Fish of the day was caught by my son, 2.5 lb bass on a frog (his largest bass ever and 1st success with topwater.) Since, he is not an accomplished fisherman yet, he was using a whippy rod and closed face reel. . . What a thrill to watch him have to fight the fish out of the grass.
I have fished this lake a couple of times and it looks like some great water; unfortunately, I have not found the formula to catch numbers out of it yet. Threw spinners, traps, frogs, chug bugs and flukes.
All said, a great experience with my 12 yr old son . . . who loves this lake and can’t wait to come back and catch more on topwater.
P. S. My tackle box is now missing a white frog!
