I decided to first try to catch a few bass on hard topwater baits. I put on a little Zara Puppy(Spook) since @Dannicus, @CorsoEnthusiast and a few others said to throw smaller baits. I realized that my small poppers were left in the garage so I made the best of the only thing I had that was small. The fish were small, but was able to land 3 bass on the Zara Puppy after some missed blow-ups.. Then I landed another topwater bass only this time on a Sammy. Two different topwater baits worked,
so this will sound strange, but I then decided to throw a mixture of reaction baits other than topwater, to see if I could land a bass on each
of them. It was challenging as I changed baits pretty often, and landed bass on 2 different sizes of flukes(super fluke and paddle tail fluke).Then used a small jerk bait which was a dink magnet..ha ha I also caught bass on a couple different spoons, and finally landed one on a Damiki Vault(blade). Unfortunately I tried and tried to land one on a Hover rig/Basstrix, but I lost 2. I honestly lost count as the clones were on the chew but caught at least a dozen of more this morning. And even though most of the bass were small, it was a fun time again on the water and only a couple other boats out......which is really hard to believe.
