The best frog for the thickest of lily pads and grass....in the mecca of grass fishing - Lake Seminole. This color stands out and allows the bass to be able to pinpoint and visually see the frog...like a bullseye

Docks
Locked the docks apart for the win on Lake Toho. The Zman jackhammer and the senko caught all my fish. Dark colored for both. The docks would reset every hour and I was able to come back through to make some culls.

Ripping a 7 inch Speed Boss thru the lily pads. Surprisingly, some bass were still spawning. Hence, the fish were super aggressive.

Went out from Toho Marina to the left and started fishing the grass and lily pads on the right before having to turn to go down the lake. I was throwing a Yum Dinger in green pumpkin with a chartuse tail weightless in the grass and pads with the bite coming just as it cleared the vegetation. I had 3 in the boat at 610, 9 overall and was off the water before 9am.

Bass located in and on top of Hydrilla. Throw out and allow worm to settle lots of bites come from worm settling down on top of hydrilla. Reel up slack line and pull worm over and through top of hydrilla much like fishing a C-Rig. You will feel the bite a lot of times as the worm clears the hydrilla stalks. Other times watch your line as the bite will be very soft and see your line moving side ways. Reel up the slack while pointing rod in direction of movement and set hook bringing rod up toward cheek in upward movement. Be sure to set drag properly to get a good penetrating hook set. Now that the weather is getting hot I try to bring the fish in as quickly as possible so as not to tire out the fish, get the hook out, weigh take a quick photo if needed and release back into the water. I keep cut to length swim noodles on top of livewell water to help keep water cool and use G-Juice to treat the water and aerate the water when putting fish in livewell especially when a larger fish needs rest before placing back in water after a good fight. Tight lines!

Went out of Lakefront Park to the left and worked around the reeds on both the lake side and on the inside of the reeds and got 5 before 730 up to 1.75lbs. I then started running new water along the West shore and got 1 at a cut in the reeds. Moved down towards Fells Cove and worked the reeds line there but missed 2. I went down canal, across Fells Cove and down the canal to the bridge. Fished there for a little bit but water was flowing to fast to do any good.

Fished a tournament, went across the lake from the ramp and fished the reeds and grass with a Yum Dinger in Cranberry color and I got 3 real quick before my partner flipped a Zoom Crawford in Junebug into the grass and caught one weighting 5lb 12ounce, pictured. We stayed in the area all morning and made a few culls finishing with 12lb 9 ounces to take 3rd place.

Fished Butler and Lake Louise today and got 10 in the boat, had 3 get off on the way to the boat and missed a few. Windy start but was able to fish some grass and reeds in open water out in front of where Shaq used to live getting 5 on a Yum Dinger 5 inch in Cranberry up to 1lbs. 11ounces before moving on. Went over to a little protected cove and got 3 more. Moved down the lake and found a better protected area to fish but got nothing. Moved over by Shaq's old house and got 1 from in front of a dock before moving through the canal back into Lake Louise and started fishing the lily pads on the left working around towards the first dock when the fish started breaking the surface chasing bait. Picked up a SPRO Haint 110 in bone color and got the biggest fish of the day at 2lbs pounces, pictured.
