Do you love fishing topwater frogs for bass? If you do you will love fishing swimbaits on top for spawning and pre spawn fish. It’s an easy fishing technique we use on Florida lakes with thick grass and heavy vegetation to cover water and fish efficiently. You’ll need a fairly strong fishing rod, braided fishing line, a heavy duty offset shank hook, and a EZ Swimbait. make long casts towards holes in the grass or near isolated pads or clumps and buzz the bait on top adding pauses and stops during the retrieve. Match bait color to the forage and water color. Basic rule though if you have clear water just grab a swimbait in Copperfield- if the water is a little more tannic or stained try Green Pumpkin Black Blue or Red Ear.

Shoot Video, Fish – do what you love.
Mikey Balzz yoga channel. Kinda has a ring to it. Love the advice keep it coming.
Dude, the energy level on this video was epic! Using the EZ swimmer to simply locate fish is a huge part of my confidence game! I love throwing the Big EZ at a rocky shoreline at spawn as well. Often you'll throw it right on a Big's head. Then they have to react. I'm surprised you didn't screw lock the swimmer on a swimbait hook! Great video!
Tight Lines Mikey
Downward Bogg, love your energy and the pure fishing content.
Absolutely love ur videos.I caught my PB swimming Big ez on top. Keep up the good work.
The arrow heads!! You are giving away secrets, great tips!! Those Big Ez get smashed 😎
Yup!
I actually use a particular soft swim bait and rig it so it acts like a wake bait. Awesome stuff!
How long was the Fla. trip ?
Bog says, "you are embarrassing." The wife says that's "upward" dog. Bog says I know that. Good vid with good tips.
I swim them over grass and pads and they get smashed. My opinion way better than a soft plastic frog
Do you let your dog shit on the boat?
Downward Dog? Bogg is losing cool points…
Gotta hit up fluke master buddy!!!! That video would/ will be epic!!! #realfishing #tightlines
Love swimbaits 🔥🔥🔥
dude this is such a fun technique!!!
Ease up on the yak my dude…your way to good of a fisherman to be doing all that
glad to see there are average fish in the lake you were fishing. nice job. will be looking for the next one
Btw do you ever fish at night??? I don't know if its just me but i never have luck bass fishing after the sun sets, ive also heard the opposite, what do you think and what lures do u like?
Ur sticker under ur bill bothered me lol great vid
You dont have any hollow points?
Where those gambler big eez
It ain't EZ being king.
arrow heads are gold!
I use a Zoom Speed Craw Texas rig it with a small weight that way I can use it on top water. Works great
The Florida trip was awesome,I look forward to seeing you back in Alabama,and seeing you explore new waters 👊👊🍺🍻
Bog is your best fishing buddy
Killer day Mikey, I will take Boggs.
As always dude awesome video! Keeper tolling bud!
I am native American mikey. You can say Indian! We are in fact Indians. I have a picture i.d from my tribe and printed on it even says, chippewa Indian … its crybaby merica that says that's offensive.. true natives have what's called an "Indian card".
Did you move back to Florida?
This and jerk baits are my straight go to for spawning fish, we went out this morning, the herring are spawning here, had an awesome day before 10 o'clock
A seasoned vet! Disciplined delay on that hookset! Awesome vid
Waiiit just a minute here… You mean to tell me you don't catch big fish every time you go out? 😂
Those EZs and Big EZs have been a favorite of mine for a long time… I fish them on a 5/0 quarter oz Trokar hook and run them over eel grass blooms… It's great when you aren't getting bit on senkos and ribbon tails on the bottom
Another great one thanks👍
That's how I fish the marshes here in Louisiana. Well mainly flukes, swimbaits and super speed craws. You'd love these marshes. They're shallow but monster fish and its public. I catch 6s – 10s every year. Pb here is 12 lbs.
6:32 that drag slip though
