Oh yeah, thats me! 

And I thought you needed a leash to "walk" a dog. lol Nice bass.

Be sure to pick up your dogs droppings! and remember to practice a lot.

Good info. I was moving the rod to the side, not down. But i think I'll try it this way. I just am either bank fishing or in a john boat...and you better not stand in this john boat lol

Nothing like catching fish on a top water plug !

Is it ok to do a few jerks on a zara spook and let it sit then repeat? I can do the walk the dog motion, but nowhere near good enough to have it look realistic during an entire retreive at a decent pace. that's why i dew a few jerks and pause.

For more than a half a century the Heddon Spook has been arguably the finest topwater walk-the-dog lure available, and the benchmark by which all others are judged. Despite the countless copies, none have captured the lightning-in-a-bottle of the Spook. Now anglers can add another version of this fish-producing lure, the Heddon Chug'n Spook. Featuring a cupped mouth that expels a tremendous amount of water, the Chug'n Spook still walks-the-dog with ease, creating that hypnotizing action that predator fish can't resist. Delivering the versatility of two lures in one, the Heddon Chug'n Spook is a must have bait for all topwater enthusiasts.

The Heddon Spook rules but I usually throw a Lucky Craft Sammy. I like the zara puppys alot to, Ive caught some PIGS on those tiny little plugs. I usually have to throw the puppys on spinning tackle with 20lb braid though. Just keep practicing walkin' that dog and before you know it you'll be able to walk it at amazing speeds and even get the bait to walk around cover (ie..stumps, docks, pads, grass,ect..)

Keep it up

Always remember to change out your hooks on those baits. I like the gama EWG's usually in size 4. Sometimes I have to add a split ring to the nose if one isnt allready there.
