Matted Grass

Late summer, hot, partly cloudy days are the key to success for froggin on Schmitt. I have often found a pattern within a pattern out there with casting at wood in matted grass. When you find a matted grass shoreline, look for laydowns in the matted grass. The closer you get your frog to land by the wood, the better your chances of getting blown up. More often than not, your frog will get snacked on within 3 seconds of it landing before you even start your retrieve. I like the megabass big gabbot for this situation because of its ability to walk or pop or even "spit-walk" in the cover. wild gill produced the most bites, but any dark colored frog worked well too

Throwing silver shad imitating square bills into stumps and extremely shallow areas could only trigger bites

Laydowns

Early in the spring these fish cannot stay off of the wacky rig on this lake. Laydowns in spawning pockets on warm sunny days are prime areas.

Booyah pad crasher run right over submerged weeds 4” under the water and a dirty jigs 1/2oz pitchin jig with rage craw trailer were the one-two punch for the day
