Summary

Fishing lily pads with topwater lures has transformed my bass fishing experience. In 2004, I targeted lily pads more than ever. Why? The success was undeniable?"I caught over 100 bass, with two over 5 pounds and another over 6.
The game-changer was a lure called the Scum Frog in green and white. Previously, I assumed fishing slowly was key because bass, despite being swift swimmers, might struggle to catch a fast-moving lure through the pads. Slowly retrieving allowed more face time with the bass.
However, observing another angler changed my perspective. He was zipping the lure through the pads almost as fast as a buzz bait, and he was getting numerous strikes while I had none. Inspired, I retried the area with a quicker retrieve but missed several strikes as the lure sped past the fish.
After some thought, I decided to slow my retrieve just a bit. Finally, it clicked?"I began catching fish consistently. My tactic for the rest of the season became retrieving quickly, but not as fast as a buzz bait. If a bass hit and missed, I’d pause and give the lure a few twitches.
This minor adjustment led to one of my best fishing years in decades. As Mikey would say, "Try it, you might like it." The joy of bass fishing is in experimenting, adjusting, and finding what works best for you.
