1. What size hook were you using?

5/0 EWG point exposed.

2. I would have thrown a buzzbait after the toads, something with a little
noise. Seems the frogs disturbed the fish but not enough to have them
hammer
it. A little noise might have gone a long way.

I considered that. I rarely throw a buzzbait, so I would have had to dig
one out.


3. Something I started doing last year was adding a trailer hook to my
horney toad hook. I like the Strike King bleeding baits trailer hooks the
best

I have used a large Excalbur treble slid over the crve of the EWG in the
past. Didn't have one in the boat tyhat night though. Is the hook your are
talking about a feathered trailer?

I was fishing after sunset Saturday evening, and I got seven or eight
hits
on a Zoom Horny Toad. They were pretty tentative hits. Just a little
splish at the bait. I tried two different things. The first couple I
gave
it slack and let the bait fall, and the last three or four I just kept
retrieving at the same speed. Neither approach produced any fish.

What would you have done? Switch to a popper with lots of trebles
hoping
they would hook up on the outside on the initial strike? Maybe slip a
big
treble over the hook on the toad? Go to a buzz bait?

P.S. Out topwater bite hasn't really turned on yet down here.
