Brandon Garrett reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Hard Topwater (Prop) technique and Shimano Curado DC Casting Reel on Lake Pepin. Additional comments from this report: "This week there were quality bass, both laregemouth and smallmouth are in shallow water near rocks and riprap. Topwater search baits like Whopper-Ploppers or the Berkley Choppo 120 can work all day, and were all we had to throw to put together a limit of 3, and 4lb fish. Cast right up to the rocks, retreive at the right speed for that pop pop sound, and repeat. A few bass could also be found at the downriver end of Pepin hitting topwater in the sloughs, where there were wood and current eddies. "

Find any vegetation and you'll be sure to catch large mouth. Went out on Father's day and was able to catch both species on different technique. Was using a senko skipping it under tight cover right up to the shoreline, chatter bait tossing them under docks, swim jigs fishing in a grassy flat, and frogging over submerge vegetation. "
