Bassin' Somewhere In SE Mass., July 7, 2013

A friend from MAFF turned me onto this place so I won't give away his secrets. This is a shallow very weedy pond with lots of lilypads and an undeveloped shoreline rimmed with vegetation, ergo, a perfect frog pond. The problem was the frog wasn't working very well. I worked the frog hard nearly two hours and only got a couple blowups that missed. I finally switched to a watermelon stick bait to get the action started. The water level was high and the bass were holding deep in the flooded shoreline vegetation (thanks for the tip Sam). I continued to alternate between the frog and the stickbait all day. The final score Frog-1, Stickbait-4. And one pickerel on a spinner bait.
