Additional comments from this report: "Bass season in PA opened over the weekend. Fished the first summer tourney of the year out of Sunbury. Had a fun day blasting post spawn smallies up shallow winding a toad. Had some wild blow ups and put enough in the box for some gas money ending up 3rd.

Reported by
SnowtaBass
Balsam Lake (WI)
SnowtaBass reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Frogs/Toads technique and Daiwa Tatula CT 100 Casting Reel - EOL on Balsam Lake. Additional comments from this report: "The frog bite was very good on Balsam. Locate lilipads or matted vegetation on top of the water. Find these areas and fan cast them and you will find some decent fish. If you can locate wood or stumps mixed within the pads or weeds make sure to work that area well. The fish seemed to be located near the structure in the pads/weeds. Nothing beats a good frog bite!"
Shimano Curado DC Casting Reel
$304.99

Reported by
Pierce Knarr
Green Lake (WI) (WI)
Pierce Knarr reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Frogs/Toads technique and Shimano Curado DC Casting Reel on Green Lake (WI). Additional comments from this report: "The frog bite is finally happening! Found our best fish of the day up in the slop. Fishing the conditions was very important since we dealt with cloudy conditions all day. Working the frog in areas with more sparse grass was key for the bigger (3.5 pounder) fish. We also dealt with quite a few pike downs be ready for that! "

Reported by
Mac
Pool 8 Mississippi River (WI)
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."

Justin Alford
Lake Seminole (FL/GA) (FL, GA)
Justin Alford reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Frogs/Toads technique and Shimano Curado DC Casting Reel on Lake Seminole (FL/GA). Additional comments from this report: "Caught this 10.2 on the bootable poplin pad crasher around Lilly pads. Also caught 6.4 on the spinner bait, a 5.5, 4.4, 4.2 on a 7.5” culprit worm around grass lines. Caught several other fish well but didn’t weigh them. Working the frog over pads produced my biggest fish as well as several 2-3 pounders "
