Matt, I really appreciate the tips you put out. It's always the juice and it's free. I'm 81 and still love to go but can't get out like I used to. I use Horney Toads and Rabbits a lot and will soon have the Gambler nose cones. Thanks again for your bassin knowledge.

Rock on!

I just started making these on a marling baits epic mold (epic ribbit) and they are getting huge blow up. Its a fat frog/toad but 5/0 hook gets the job done. If you know anyone that makes baits ask them to make you some and give them a try. I used super soft plastic but they obviously got torn up after 2-3 hits. the next batch will be a harder plastic. Good luck. This is also a Pay Matt comment.

Excellent content! Many thanks for taking the time to create and share your videos. I like to use a weighted hook with the Horny Toad. Even more casting distance and it works very well when you reel up to a piece of cover and then kill it. I get many strikes as the toad sinks. Toads are also good swimbait trailers to keep a heavier jig high in the water column. You have an outstanding, informative channel. I have been subscribed for a while now. Please keep up the good work.

Today I was fishing with a wacky worm in one of my usual ponds. I found out that any time I switch color / length / shape I get a couple of bites immediately, then things get slower, i change again and here we go a few more bites. Most of the people including you, suggest us to not change too often and get confident although I’m pretty positive that after 20 casts (or so) with the same worm they get bored / scared. It’s incredible, I wonder if it’s because it’s a very small pond…

Run toads as well the two types of frogs. Would have used a toad today but, five of my six lakes were closed to launching boats. The ramps were under water. We started rolling at 6:00am and finally found a lake and launched at 10:40am. A week of rain that ended on Thursday with 4" of rain on that day. What a bust! And now my shoulder needs ice ! Too bad I can't send some of it to Lake Mead.

A great top water bait is the Zman goat toadz. They actually float, so when you stop the retrieve the bait does not sink and you can retrieve them at a slower rate. Caught a lot of fish on them.

I love fishing toads in the summer! When my cousin started bass fishing, I set him up with a horny toad and instead of fishing it like me, steady retrieve on the surface, he started fishing it slow letting it fall in the pockets between the lily's.I had 4 fish and told him, you have to keep those legs kicking and buzz it along. I wanted him to catch a fish. Well not to long after my pep talk, he starts killing it in the holes and all the sudden he hooks a monster for Massachusetts anyway that weighed 6 9oz ! I shut up after that! Lol I also like the Stanley Ribbit, and Strike king Rage tail over the horny toad if there's more chop and wind, but the horny toad when it's calm. It's a little more subtile. Great content!

I'm curious, you make all these tip videos and presentation videos. But what would you say are the main presentations or lures you use. Obviously the area your fishing, type of bass, confidence, ect play into that but i just wonder what you throw more than anything else. Mine are the chatterbait and Texas rigged senko/stick bait. My wife is the drop shot.

@MattStefanFishing

2 жыл бұрын

Well if it means anything I uploaded my video on toad fishing on June 29th well before tactical bassin published their video. I can assure you i dont make videos based on what other people make. there are limited topics so it happens all the time when one video comes out before or after another content creators videos. I make daily videos and timing can be a bummer sometimes. if i had known tactical bassins video came out before mine i would have pushed mine back. Probably not the best idea to follow the powerhouse in the fishing world if your trying to get views. Sometimes its good to know the facts before commenting.

There's flaws and upsides to everything. For instance, hollow body frogs can have rattle put in easily....and the can pound the mats. In the open, no need for a frog unless you don't know how to fish. On the thick stuff, this Toad is not the only solution. Experience is individualized. Was watching a violinist called out a fake. She said she's spent tons of money and sweated to horn her skills. That's why she called him out. I feel like her. I mean I can see why you would throw a frog, but I cannot see it thrown in the open or thrown with double hooks. JS.
