I've been using top water frogs there working but the bass are off alot when the bass bites it I wait a little then set the hook but it comes back up to the surface what am I doing wrong

There dozens of threads on here already I would send you the link off mine I posted these other day.. use braid when you feel the fish set the hook..

You can tell its summertime. Every other thread is about frog fishing. LOL. I answered the same question yesterday. Look at topic threads and you will find the answer you are looking for. Good Luck.
