Largemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Prop)SeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationHad great success this past weekend on topwater poppers early in the morning and Wacky Rig in the evening. Caught a 6 pack of LMB on the popper in 2 hours Saturday morning and 6 pack on the Wacky Rig Sunday evening. When working the popper, every fish was caught when we would briefly pause the popper after 3-5 twitches, didn't matter if we walked it or popped it. The poppers we used were the Strike King KVD Splash in Sexy Shad and Berkley Bullet Pop in Bone, both were 2-3/4" size.

Overcast today and cooler temps after 3 hot days in a row. Walked the popper and then would pause for a few seconds. Ended up catching 4 today and each bass hit on the pause.

After the recent heavy rain the water clarity was less then 2'. Over the past week we've thrown a lot of different lures, the only lure we had success with after the rain has been a double willow spinner bait with a boot tail trailer.
