Weeds..what to do ??

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.

That would be a Lunker City Salad Spoon. One of my favorite baits for
working over and under and through the weeds, to big lunker's house we
go...
Seriously, with the way that the keel on the Salad Spoon works, it
might just be one of your better choices, if not the best choice for
covering the mess you described.

Spoon, Fork...what the heck, neither my mom nor the nuns could ever teach me
proper table etiquette.
