I think the case with most of us in CT is when the warmer weatehr comes alot of our favorite spots get choked with milfoil and all that aquatic matted vegetation. I was wondering what you guys use to fish that besides top water frogs.

Drop shot senkos. Drop it right in the holes of the milfoil.

I'll be trying out these topwater hybrid garlic MouseWorms with Stanley DoubleTake frog hooks:



I've been 100% topwater when it comes to fishing in heavy vegetation but I'm going to attempt punching through the mat with some creature baits this year. At night I use buzzbaits as close to the weed edge as I can get, parallel if possible.

1 to 11/4 oz tungsten worm weight with a slim profile soft plastic like a creature bait, texas rigged, then create your own holes.

Make sure you got some strong braid or flurocarbon, or get the new fluro-braid by spider wire
