Just got back from up north!

[Ben W]

This past week (19th-26th) I went up north to St. Germain, WI with my family for some fishing on Little St. Germain Lake. We've been going for 13 years, since I was about 2 1/2 Anyway, there is very good panfishing and is recognized as a musky lake. Doesn't say much about bass though. So, on sunday(20th) I was getting no luck on any artificial lures that I just set up a hook and bobber using a wax worm. Caught a crappie and bluegill then got this little guy about 13 inches:

On Monday we went to get more leeches for my dad and I picked up a Scum Frog Tiny Toad in the brown/yellow color. My frog that I had was too big so I thought I'd try this out. On Tuesday night around 7:00, we went back to where I caught the first bass. I throw my toad into a pocket on the edge of the weeds and got a strike right after it hit the water but the fish missed. Reel in, then cast again, twitch, and he strikes again except it was a bigger strike! My first fish on a frog! I kept casting in the same spot and hooked 3 more after that. First one was 16 inches 2.7 lbs, second was 15 inches about 2 lbs, third was around 10 inches (didn't take a pic), and the last was 17 inches and 3 lbs. Not any PB's but when I got them every other cast it was a blast!!! Then had no luck with no bass after that day :

16.5 incher:

15 incher:

17 incher:

It was fun trip and looking forward to next year. Also I'm going to try it at the ponds I've been fishing at this year and see what happens.

Thanks

Nice job on hammerin' the bass!  Sounds like you had blast up there.  You must have had fairly decent weather too.  With the fronts coming through, did anyone hook up with the musky?

No musky, my dad was throwin' suicks and bucktails like crazy but nothing! He did catch a nice 22" walleye, 20" and 24" Northern.
