Teckel Frogs Production Fell Off A Cliff in 2022


 In 2021 the Teckel Whacker did serious work bringing in 107 bass, and the Sprinker Frog is usually good for one to two dozen bass brought in per year. I only caught 4 bass between the two baits all year, yikes. They didn't show any interest when I was throwing the Whacker, which doesn't have any rattles, and eventually, I just stopped throwing it. I'm sure they will rebound in 2023; only four fish is ridiculous.

Trophy Is In the Water for 2018

We dumped the Trophy into Sullivan Lake around 7:30PM tonight. I wanted to fish the Sullivan Platte River Outlet (SPRO) area so I put in at the NE Sullivan Access.  Everything worked, but the jury is out on pretty much everything about the trolling motor (battery, pull cord, and the trolling motor itself); It worked fine for tonight, but it was dead calm.

I caught my first fish on the real Teckel Sprinker Frog Tonight. My frogging skills are a bit rusty as I caught 3 fish out of about 15 blow ups or follows between the Sprinker, Zoom Horny Toad, and Mad Maxx.

Last years rice beds in the SPRO are thicker than I would prefer, basically, treble hook topwaters and buzzbaits are out in this part of the lake. I will be back and better prepared next time.

But that won't be tomorrow most likely.  East wind
