Lots and lots of shallow fish! Stable overcast conditions allowed for bigger fish to cruise the shallows in search of food. Focus on emergent vegetation anywhere from 1-8 feet of water. Lilipads and reeds provide a great place to start, mats of dying curlyleaf are also a great place to look. Focus on irregularities in these places - little pockets, points, clumps, etc. Don't be afraid to work your frog slowly around these high percentage areas. Both popping and walking frogs worked well. Additionally there were some schools forming out deep, but the bigger fish had not pulled all the way out into those areas yet.

Lily Pads
The topwater bite started slow on other faster moving toads, so switched to the Goat Toadz which floats so could be retrieved slowly without sinking. It stayed longer in the strike zone around emerging pads long enough to get absolutely crushed!
