Topwater Time
With
the fall feeding frenzy coming into full swing, this is a great time
for some exciting top water bass fishing. With the bass coming out of
their deep water haunts to put on the feedbag, the action can get hot
and heavy. One of the keys is knowing how the fish migrate during this
time. A good place to start your search is in shallow water coves that
have some docks and wood cover.
Try
tossing a top water bait around them like a Sammy or Zara Spook. Popper
style baits like a Rico or Pop-R are also good choices. Remember to
have a throwback bait tied on like a tube or jig and pig. If they miss
the bait, more times than not you will catch that fish if you toss one
of these right back on them.
There will be a lot of fish roaming around and feeding in open water,
so keep a watchful eye out for fish busting in the middle of these
areas. Even if you don’t see fish busting, fan cast the area before
moving on to your next spot. Remember that you are dealing with colder
water, so keep your presentation slow. Longer pauses and subtle twitches
usually will work the best, but let the fish tell you how they want it.
Don’t give up throwing a top water bait to early. They can be
productive all day long. At this time of the year, the baitfish will
stay deeper in the early hours, but as the day progresses and the water
heats up, the activity of both the bait and the bass will heat up too.
Making long casts to the fish is also important now. At this time of
the year you usually are dealing with clearer water, so make long casts
so as not to spook the fish. Downsizing to a smaller diameter line and
using a longer rod will help you to accomplish this.
While you may have to do a little experimenting when it comes to the
size and color of your baits, don’t pass up some of the great fishing
experiences that can be had while using them at this time of the year.
Good Fishing!
