Topwater Season is Finally Here! DuPage River Wading Session Goes Crazy (Rock Bass Takeover)

Early summer evening on the DuPage River and topwater season is finally here. I’m wading the river and throwing a Whopper Plopper 90 on my Daiwa Tatula combo, and the surface bites are nonstop. I end up landing 15 fish total, with hungry smallmouth bass and a surprising number of rock bass blowing up on top. If you like river wading, shallow water smallmouth, and Midwest creek fishing vibes, you’ll enjoy this session. Gear used: – Lure: Whopper Plopper 90 (topwater) – Rod/Reel: Daiwa Tatula setup – Location: DuPage River (Illinois, wading) If you enjoy river smallmouth content and topwater fishing, hit subscribe and drop a comment with your favorite smallmouth topwater bait. #smallmouthbass #DuPageRiver #topwaterfishing #whopperplopper #riverfishing #wadingfishing #illinoisfishing #riverbassfishing #smallmouthfishing #bassfishingvideo #bassfishing
