Frog Fishing Shallow Cover - Post Spawn Bass Fishing

They're eating the frog! Come along for an evening on Chickamauga as Tim targets bass in shallow cover. He's using a subtle popping frog to lure bass out of the grass and debris along the shore and following up with a light flipping rig when needed. Its a beautiful evening to be on the water, let's go fishing! 

The lake has been rising and bass are pushing back in the shallow cover. With so much flooded grass, its difficult to reach the bass with traditional baits but its perfect for the frog! Tim used a variety of different topwater baits but one frog stood out from the crowd. Tim found the subtle popping action of a Gavacho was exactly what the fish were keyed on. 

Below you'll find links to the baits and equipment Tim was using this evening. We've included the exact baits, colors, as well as a few of our other favorite options for this time of year. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
