Matt Boyd reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Hard Topwater (Prop) technique and Sufix 832 Braid on Silver Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Went out in the kayak and found a good abundance of fish on the outer weed edge and right against the bank. Started out early with a frog then transitioned to the outer edge and threw the Choppo. Had to cover a ton of water to get the better bites. If you’re looking to get a better bite, try flipping a Rage Bug or the Berkley Creature hawg."

Charlie Sponer reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Hard Topwater (Prop) technique and Sufix 832 Braid on De Gray Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Bass are chasing shad all over the lake. Whopper ploppers work well early and if the wind is up. Old school crazy shads and other smaller double prop baits are working well when the plopper bite slows. Bigger fish can be caught underneath the shad with a spoon."

Ricky Lor reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Hard Topwater (Prop) technique and PowerPro Spectra Braid on Rum River. Additional comments from this report: "Fishing the Rum River with whopper plopper. I look for shaded area along with cut off current. That seems to be where most of the fish are stacked at. For this one, I threw it to a shaded area and the fish came up as my plopper landed. It was a nice 4lbs Smallies."

Fish a grass line till you get a bite, where there is one fish there will be more. Keep your eye out for bait too!"
