I hit the North cove at Keeney Saturday morning and got this LMB on a green pumpkin/red flake 5" senko. (Thank you again Phil) [img:fef34f1cfa]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=23316[/img:fef34f1cfa] Bill and I went out Sunday morning to Bashan but we quit after an hour and a half due to the wind. We packed up and headed to Upper Moodus where it was still windy, but not as bad. We only had a couple hours to spend there and I grabbed 3 LMB's in the back on the same Senko. This morning I hit Keeney again for an hour before work and hit two more LMB's, this time on a Keitech Fat Swing Impact rigged on an Owner Twist Lock weighted swimbait hook. Good stuff! -Eric

Okay, now you have to try fishing with a Zoom Horny Toad on a 4/0 EWG (Extra Wide Gap) Offset Shank Worm Hook. Use 50 pound test braided line. It's a topwater lure; just cast and retrieve over lily pads and surface weeds. Don't worry if it swims upside down; the fish don't care. When you get a bite, pause your retrieve for a couple of seconds (count "one, one thousand, two, one thousand") before setting the hook. Set it hard by snapping your wrists back and pulling your arms up to your face. A vertical hookset is best. If you set the hook and it's just gone, it got bit by a northern pike or a chain pickerel. Tie on a steel leader and try again.

Phil, Is the Horny Toad your frog of choice? I've got a couple LiveTarget hollow frogs that I've thrown a bit this year with no success. It's frog time of year and pads are everywhere so I know I should be working them more than I do. -Eric
