Thanks for the suggestion of using the Scum Frog.

If these were your typical, floating, "cover-all" weeds, with a lot of shade
under them ...I'd have more confidence in a Scum-Frog style lure. This crap
is growing straight up from the bottom. Added to that, there are a lot of
floating six inch strands, probably from the cutting process. The worst is,
though, the sticky, gooey, snotty type weeds that cling to any knot or
fastener.

On a windy, bright, sunny day, I've not had my best catches using topwaters.
I usually love them on a gray, rainy, day though. I'll give the Scum Frog a
try.. and also a Salad Fork?? worked like a topwater buzz bait.....

Steve from Outdoor Frontiers gave me an idea, also. I'll be rigging up a
big Sluggo and working it like a quick twitch bait. It would help if I had
more patience, but 55 + years of fishing tells me I don't and I won't be
acquiring patience at this late stage.

Use a Scum Frog on top of those floating weeds. Just remember to count
to 3 after the blast before setting the hook.
