We have a few patches of pads down here on LBJ and I've had to try so many different things all in one day until I hit on what they want. It does seem like the hotter it gets the more they hit the jig because they settle to the bottom and don't hang around the edges or just underneath the pads. Early mornings the frogs hopping the pads and spinner baits on edges and in cuts works well. Good luck sir. It's a fun way to fish. take a peek @ www.FatBassFishing.com
