Froggy In Pre-Spawn

[aharris]

Got a tournament coming up at the end of March. Water temps should be in the high 50's-low 60's. From what I remember, there's one big grass flat on the lake (2' - 3' water depth). Would I be crazy to throw a frog or would you just pick it apart with a jig or tx rig?

I don't think it's crazy at all to throw a frog. I was fishing this weekend end, and saw a monster bullfrog in the water and I'm in Ohio.

Adam, nothing you throw will outproduce my jerkbait. I'll see you at the tournament.

I like hollow bodies around this time so I can walk the lure right over a bed.

I would be fishing the first drop off or channel swing adjacent to the grass flat, I would guess the bigger females will be staging on this break.  Alternatively, you may want to see if there is a depression in the grass flat, they could be staging there as well.

I would...................I mean.....NO, never, don't throw a frog that early, or waste your time throwing one late in the year either....

You better be throwing a soft plastic one or your fingers will be green from picking off the grass. Just dont set the bar too high for yourself...2nd place isnt that bad.

I wouldn't say it won't work, the rules of bass fishing are very flexible.

 

That being said, with those water temps?  It would be a fluking day for me. You can work it like a topwater and also let is settle into the weeds if you like.
