We don’t have reeds or lily pads or any of that kind of vegetation on our lake.
It’s a man-made lake with a liner on the bottom.
I don’t think these fish have ever seen a frog!
Do you think that it still might work?
I think bass will pretty much bite/slam anything that triggers them.
Lake Mission Viejo used to have really picky bass so small and tiny tended to get consistent hits from the schoolies that moved around. I blame the bored pro/Am bass fishermen that hit the lake pretty much every day.
I've fished a horse ranch's catchment ponds that were chock full of bass and perch, and strangely enough the bass really liked a mini pencil popper.
My PB LMB was an accidental catch, it was Spring so I was throwing a small silver popper (or a dogwalker?) near a boulder, and I hit the boulder and the female hit as soon as I did my first pop right at the bottom of the rock.
Wacky seems to work, and I'm not sure why....but I like to throw traditional worms and it usually takes a bit to figure out the size and color that works at a particular section of a lake but smaller is usually better.
The traditional frog shaped pork skin seems to produce also...YMMV.
I'm not a bass fisherman, I have just been around some and fish for bass when it's too warm for anything else...I just set the hook hard when I get hit...
