Thanks, Johnathon. I have been bass fishing for over 50 years, but I am still learning. This video made me think about pads a little differently than before. I moved back to Florida for the 3rd time. I am in Suwannee County, North Florida, this time around. I lived in Fort Lauderdale back in 1985 and on Lake Juliana in Auburndale around 1990. I kept moving back to New Jersey because of my Mom and Dad. But it looks like I'm here for the long haul this time around.....FishOn....jimi

Well you're in the right place for flipping pads! I hope this video helped!

[@robertbrost7777]

I have water lily pads at my place. The only thing I'll throw on them is a weightless Senko or Yum Dinger. Any weight on the bait just makes it sink and then you're fishing the bottom and getting hung up in the stems and pads for the rest of the cast. As it is, my Senko weightless gets hung up half the time! I cast it so it lands on a pad then hop it across then basically by dragging the bait with small hops and, then I let it fall through a hole in the pads. That's when they hit it. I am however next time going to remove my leader and let that braid eat!

[@RyanSmith-fb8rf]

Probably your best show that you have done. You are spot on especially with the ZMan goats coming from Florida

[@JD_Fishing]

Lilly pads. Get on em. Coolest thing when bass go under lilly pads on a clam day is, cast a frog, land it right on top of a lilly. DO NOTHING! Just wait. If their under there youll start seeing the lillys move as the bass move into position to strike. This can take well over a minute if their sluggish on hot days. Immediately the water just explodes, as soon as fish crashs back under, set the hook. Youll be in the fight of your life. Ive seen so many that are impatient and as soon as frog hits a lilly they start reeling. If their is a bass within 10' of the frog hitting the lilly, they will soon be under it to take it. Just be paitent and watch. If nothing give it a couple twitches and wait before reeling. Normally thatll get you a reaction strike.

[@robertbrost7777]

Thanks! I have little patience but, I'll try it. One thing though, you have to move the frog off of the pad and onto an open water spot within the pads first for the bass to get it, right? Tight lines!
