    I love Margarita this time of the year: frog city! Nothing beats that explosion through the mat. You can also punch through thru the snot: target a hole and flip into it. Tungsten weight the best, more weight with less size. Punching is a reaction bite; 9 time out of the you'll get hit on the fall

    Fish were hot for the MMIII today. My buddy out-fished me 5:1 using dropshot with this worm. He caught 10 including a 4.5 pounder on 7 lb. test line and 1/4 oz. weight.

      Shad

    Bass are still keyed on the shad spawn, needed to go with a reaction bite. Burning a lipless over the grass was the answer. Tight lines!
