Early in the morning we were throwing topwater Whopper Ploppers over 15 foot flats with submerged weeds. I was able to pick up a nice 3 lb smallmouth using the constant retrieve with intermittent pauses and jerks and that worked well. That’s my favorite retrieve that I use everywhere and it catches fish in ponds as well as river and lakes.
