Priceless Pete! That's what its all about!

Nice Pete, is that at Howard's camp.

nice to see the tie still getting around.

Ya Frank, that's at howard's camp. It's located at Black Lake, in Canada....Super fishing!

Whew! Today was forecast as the hottest day of the year so far(102 degrees)...but when I woke up at 5am it sure looked good outside. I decided to take the tie to the swamp for some frog action. Usually by this time of year the duckweed is starting to cover the surface...and it was right on cue. The wind was blowing it toward the north bank, which made a nice long edge line, perfect to work a spinnerbait before I started tossing a frog into the soup. The first cast was a missed strike...but the third hooked a nice fat 16 incher. Then I picked up the frog rod and the action was even faster...mostly short fish but a few good ones...one was 15 inches. I lost count of the 6 to 8 inch fish that busted that frog. Must be last years spawn...great news...I was worried the swamp was fading. Looks like the next few years may be promising!
                          

Here's the 15 inch frog fish:


Here's the 16 inch spinnerbait fish:

Boy Mo, your killin' them! What does the frog look like? Thanks for sharing!

Turnip,
   Its one of those new Booyah Pad Crashers...they have a really soft body that collapses very easy. This frog has the best hook-up ratio of any I've fished, and we all know how hook-ups go with frogs! Here's a link to them:  http://www.lurenet.com/brands/booya...ad-crasher   I noticed they are currently out of most colors(duh...it is frog fishing season) so here's a pic of the color I was using.

Cool beans, Mo! Thanks for the link!!

Your looking pretty dapper there Mo. congrats keep the pic's coming.

when I took the tie up to Alaska a few years back there was a guy on one of my shore trips that knew about the tie. can't remember if I asked hem if he was a member or not

Yes sirree! You got that tie going on. How can the fish resist you? Keep em comin' til he runs outta money.

Anyone else interested in hosting the tie just post a request here. I'm sure the tie wouldn't mind a little ice fishing, so lets fill out the year.

Hey guys...the frog bite is ON here......went to the swamp again this morning. Starting to get the tie on some bigger fish now...picked up a 16.5 inch and a 19 inch, had a few others hooked but they shook off. One of the was the biggest bass I've had on this season! I got so fired up I forgot to put on the tie, but it was right there, watching from the passenger seat in the van.

Here's the 19 incher, I love that sound when they blast through the duckweed to clobber a topwater frog!


Here are some pics of the "swamp" I fish...this is where the big girls live...the tough part is getting them out!







Ever saw Canadian geese bobbing for apples......wonder if they were trying to tell me something?

oooooo, I like that water! Nice going, Mo!

I see why that frog works so well.

Still hot here...but I figured I better get on them while they've got the feed bag on...fished from 5am to about 9am...and was sweating when I left! This time the frog bite was a little weak, only picked up two shorties on it, so I tied on a big Yum Mightee worm and gave it a heave. bagged the 15 inch and 17 inch pictured below. Can't speak for the tie...but I'm having a blast!
                                                                                                   
                                                                                                   

Nice catch, Mo and great pics! Thanks for sharing!!

Howdy sports fans......The tie seen a little more action this morning. We still have high temps here, so I started at 5am to beat the heat. The weather clown says a high of 103 today...I'll never see it...I was back home by 9am! I caught seven bass, hooked this first one on the second cast with a black musky Jitterbug. I love the way it scares you half to death when they bust a 'bug.



This one ate the frog...its still in his mouth...but you can't see it in this pic!



The sun popped over the trees, and lit this pic up. This one hit the frog too.

Great pics and nice fish, Mo!! Now, get into da house and stay cool!!!

Nothing more fun than a good top water bite. Excellent pics, keep cool & keep em coming.
