San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Water level remains good for boats to launch was a packed house today both parking lots about full when I left at 11 I threw spinner blade neko worm but only for a short time I was having to much fun on topwater toad landed 8 missed a lot I experimented with diff toads early I have a mold I made some long time ago that’s what I used on Tuesday worked great so I made more softer plastic didn’t do well legs tangled which hindered my overall count but when I made the adjustment got some nicer ones

Nice job out there Robert!
Frogging'....I mean Toading it!
I don't know why, but there is so much excitement when I hear guys talk about using frogs, but I just never gave it the time they deserve in all my years of fishing. You look like you had a blast out there and I really need to one day start tossing them. The last fish on a frog was probably a decade ago at Murray but the bass were slamming shad in the middle of a cove and I just tossed a frog and landed a bass. I need to toss them over vegetation or back in the tulles. I say "I need" but it seems that I need to change that to "I will." Trust me if I throw a frog and catch a bass, I will post it even if it is a dink.
Thanks again always for sharing your fishing adventures and tight lines always buddy.

Great job out there Robert! Thanks for the report.
