Feb 19th, 2011 On Call

Well I'm on call all weekend, so today I figured I would spend a little downtime on the pond and try out some of the goodies my wife got me for Valentine's Day.  I threw two baits with no luck: a Spro Bronzeye Jr. Frog and a texas-rigged Yum F2 Money Craw.

Now let me tell you the frog is definitely my new favorite top water bait as long as it does catch fish.  In over 100 casts today it always landed upright and I didn't have to drain the water out of it once.  And it really does mimic a frog swimming across the water.  Its weedless and casts a mile.

The Money Craw is wonderful as well.  Texas-rigged it seems to always sink with its claws up, and I'm sure it will land me many fish this summer. My only problem is it is kind of big for these small pond bass, but who knows, maybe I'll catch that big one on it.
