I've been catching the sallies on top water Mosquitos. I will try some froggies.
Just talked to some people that came into Bass Pro today and yesterday. They tell me the bigger bass hang out across the lake in the too lies. Going to try that Thursday when I go with my grappling hook. Hope I get that rod back.
