Largemouth BassTechniqueFrogs/ToadsSeasonSummerStructureLily PadsSome good bites have been coming fishing frogs in the lily pads. The terminator walking frog is super easy to walk side to side and allows for a nice slow walking presentation through the pads. If you see the pads move or miss a fish you can flip a bait back in the pads to get them to bite. You need the right gear for this type of fishing. 50-65lb braid is important and a nice heavy action rod like the St. Croix Victory VTC74HF paired with a Daiwa tatula 150 is vital to getting the big ones out of heavy cover.

Missile Craw Father in Super Bug caught them on laydowns, riprap, and weed edges. Baby Z-Too on a dropshot where I could see bait schooling. Wacky Rigged senko in the morning on the edge of cover. The Live Target frog only produced a couple bites, but they were the right kind.

Pool 13 is on the rise and the bass are moving into backwater areas with pads and grass. Frogs, pitching and punching are the way to catch them.
