Caught this little chunk the other evening on a quick stop heading home from work. I love frog fishing
After a shit week of all my trucks breaking I cut out at 4 and did some fishing. Nothing of size all caught on 5” Yum Dinger Senkos in Morning Dawn color(favorite color for the past year). Couple others I didn’t get pics of, couple missed hooksets. Not a bad 2 hour trip. They are staged up on ledges here for sure. Sitting deep, going shallow to eat, then right back.

want to try smoking some fish for a change.
Vibration and pushing water will be key. Bait fish will hide in the flooded grass areas and predators will stage up on the edges to ambush.Heading to the dreary, rainy north tomorrow. Hope to get out a handful of times in the next week for some smallmouth fishing. Lake Ontario is out as there are no wake zones and high water/flooding in most places. Hope to hit a Finger Lake or two and my old standby’s of the Oneida Lake and River. Lots of largemouth up to 5 lbs or so and smallies in the same range. Just hoping for breaks in the storms and rain. Damn I hate high muddy water. Ant advice @Tailhunter ?
High muddy water. Cold, tough. Warm, not to bad.Heading to the dreary, rainy north tomorrow. Hope to get out a handful of times in the next week for some smallmouth fishing.

Big bladed spinnerbaits.
Big jigs pitched to visible cover.
Wide wobble cranks.
Usually rising water brings fish shallow.
Darker colors.
Hard to be sure without a true visual.
Best thing so far is vanilla extract, 1000 times better than off. Coupled with a thermacell it made it pretty pleasant.oh yea ! puttin a whoppin on !
to help with the knats, I wear an old hat with bug spray on it.
You put it on the thermacell wafer?Best thing so far is vanilla extract, 1000 times better than off. Coupled with a thermacell it made it pretty pleasant.
Nope. Face, neck and arms. After last night the legs too. LolYou put it on the thermacell wafer?
My wife would think I was having an affair with Betty Crocker if I came home smelling like vanilla extract and fish.Best thing so far is vanilla extract, 1000 times better than off. Coupled with a thermacell it made it pretty pleasant.

Sailor Jerry's has a nice vanilla taste and smell. Rub a little spiced rum on you, might be good.Do I really need the “vanilla “ part.. or can I just rub the booze all over my body?
