Is this going to be a contest, with "Chicken & Waffles" being the prize?

Thank Ronnie, he mentioned them in a post here due to my fondness for the
speedworm that zoom bait co. makes. Now that is an all purpose
worm/buzzbait and thanks Ronnie for showing me those tiny brush hogs and
garlic dip. Seemed to be just the right thing yesterday and this morning,
I killed them on the sand colored tiny's.

Went out yesterday. Hit the water about 10:00am. Partly sunny mild
wind but approaching rain. We are in a cold front condition here with
rain on and off all the time (Surprise?). Tried the South emerging
weeds for Crappies without any luck. Motored to a mid lake rock and
reed hump and threw a variety of baits, SW's, worms, Senkos and such.
Picked up a few dinks. Moved to the channel with the same results.
Went to the North shore and watched a pair of boats work without any
luck. Went right to the bank and found the males patrolling waiting
for the females? in 6" to 2' of water. Only saw a few spots that
might be beds. Started casting for them without any takers. Moved
out and tried a variety of baits casting to the shore and working them
into deeper water, no takers. Sat and thought to myself , Self what
would that great sage "Jerry" say about this situation? Son!, break
out the Horney Toads. Well now, don't use a 2/0 EWG hook on a horney
toad. It's way undersize. Got out some 4/0's and started to nail
fish after fish. Stopped counting after 20. About every third one
was a keeper with the biggest ones over 3. Tried to find females in
slightly deeper water but no luck.

Those fish just did not like horney toads in their water :} I could
put them next to or into wood, several fish made assisted jumps over
wood to get to the boat. Dead stick them, slow swim them, topwater
swim them or bounce them. Everything worked.

I need to get to Gander today after I do the laundry and grocery
shopping. See ya on the water,

BTW, THANKS JERRY!!!
