Tom reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Frogs/Toads technique and Daiwa Tatula SV TW103 Casting Reel - EOL on O'Dowd Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Head to the South side of the lake through a narrow channel. Start by tossing your favorite weedless topwater bait above the lilipads with in the channel on the East side. As you enter the South bay, keep wrapping the corner on the East. Lots of lilys. Toss your finesse jig with a twister tail under and around over hanging trees as the day warms up. 4-5 pound bass with in this area. TAKE YOUR TIME! Many bass fisherman on this lake will troll the bank casting along but never stop to focus on the area. Catch the bass they leave behind all day long."

Nate Nipper reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Frogs/Toads technique and Daiwa Tatula SV TW103 Casting Reel - EOL on Tetonka Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Tournament to end the season on Tetonka Sakatah was a lot more fun that I thought it would be. We fished all three lakes mainly targeting the thickest vegetation we could find. Grass was just starting to die off with the abnormally warm temps this year. Key with the frog was working it really really slowly. Missed a lot of fish too. Went back through the best areas with a punch rig and cleaned up some of those misses. Also got a lot of fish junk fishing wood and docks with the 3/8 oz All Terrain jig."

Michael Rekas reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Frogs/Toads technique and Daiwa Tatula CT 100 Casting Reel on Lake of the Isles. Additional comments from this report: "Got on a bit of an unexpected frog bite this weekend. The pad fields that were too thick to fish a frog through this summer are now very sparse. These pads were perfect for a popping frog. The fish were concentrated on the pads and if you can find pads with laydowns nearby that was even better. Besides location, fish the frog just like you would during the summer. For more info on how I do that check out my other Lake of the Isles fishing report on summer frogging. Take advantage of this bite while you can it will be gone quick!"

Mitch Bradshaw reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Frogs/Toads technique and Daiwa Tatula CT 100 Casting Reel on Big Marine Lake. Additional comments from this report: "The Frog bite is heating up on the post-spawn largies! I recently got out in my kayak which is perfect for frog fishing in the pads as you can get really shallow and spook less fish. There are a lot of small bass in this lake but a few nice ones. I didn't find anything over 2.5# but I can never be too picky when they are eating the Frog."

Jfogarty100 reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Frogs/Toads technique and Daiwa Tatula CT 100 Casting Reel on Horseshoe Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Lake was pretty well choked out with curly leaf pondweed. Walked the pad crashed over some open holes in the weeds to catch some pretty decent bass."

The Gator Guy From MNKFA reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Frogs/Toads technique and Shimano Curado DC Casting Reel on Somers Lake. Additional comments from this report: "MONSTER BASS caught on a frog in the lilly pads. Some real nice bass in Mink Lake."

Nate Nipper reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Frogs/Toads technique and Shimano Curado DC Casting Reel on Lake Le Homme Dieu. Additional comments from this report: "The 2nd stop of the MNBN Team Trail brought us to LHD. The post-spawn period is a fantastic time to lock a frog in your hand and chase some of the bigger fish in the system. I like bluegill colors and am not afraid to throw the thing over some open water. Trolling motor cranked up just pounding shorelines. Docks, pads, matted up weeds. It's all fair game this time of year. The fish aren't really grouped up yet so it's usually a get one and keep going program."

Mac reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Frogs/Toads technique and Shimano Curado DC Casting Reel on Pool 8 Mississippi River. Additional comments from this report: "Typical summer La Crosse pattern, but it's fluctuating every day. You can run to the backwaters and find matted grass. Use a Bluegill colored frog to catch Largemouth bass between 2 and 4 lbs. Another option is to target main lake structure with Perch or Bluegill colored swim jigs."
