It’s been that long since I’ve been fishing. Today I went to Lake Monticello to break the streak. The weather was great, which means on that lake, not much wind.  I started out with a Cripple Killer which is a prop type topwater that caught one pretty quickly.  When I got to the lily pads I switched to a Ribbit Frog which just may be my favorite bait to catch a fish on.  No bites on the Ribbit until noon however. In the meantime, a swimbait got the call and caught a couple, none big.  I was fighting myself all morning, having to make myself not use the frog, which is so much fun, but was just not working.  Finally when I got to a good looking group of pads out came the Ribbit and one actually bit it.  The next one hit it like it meant it, but after that it was hard to find a Ribbit bite.  I ended up with 5 fish all just over or just under 3 pounds.  Lake Ferguson would have made a better choice because I understand people have been catching them lately.
