It Took Me 40 Years To Master THIS Big Bass Topwater Method…

[@captnse]

Matt Allen from Tactical Bassin’ just created a video this morning on your exact subject…that this time of year is the time to fish topwater from 10am-3pm…when most guys stop fishing topwater…..great content on both channels!! 👍🏼

[@Lobo-tommy10]

Actually Matt Allen posted an advertisement. This is an informed video.

[@WolfJett]

Even if it’s 88-96 degrees on most days? I can never get top water bites at any of my spots. Most being bayous.

100% correct great information for the guys who don’t use all day in open lake also

[@danluther1741]

I'll say one of my favorite words yet again... JITTERBUG!!

[@PeterWFishing]

you fish them in the daytime?

[@swamp_rat_fla1126]

I totally agree. I’ve caught numerous double digit bass between 12pm-3pm in the Florida August heat on the Devil’s Horse. I’ve had good luck with poppers also and working the Booyah Toad Runner in pencil reeds. Best bass fishing is coming soon. 👍🏻

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

Man I chucked the Megabass Megadog X for 3 hours straight on lake chickamauga this past Sunday. At 2:30 pm I was dead!!! But busted a 6 and an 8 on it damn it’s an incredible lure!

[@randomschmo5778]

Absolutely great info...it rings true and on-the-money... Been fishing now for half a century, but till now never hear it explained and summarized like that.

[@johannvanderschyff7735]

Like your short power vids. Very informative and use the info here in South Africa as well. Long vids get boring and I lose interrest. Thank you.

[@joecarpenter7344]

Great video buddy!!

[@Boethius411]

Any time can be a great time to throw top water if you are looking for a big un. Lol but the fall migration is super fun.

[@PeterWFishing]

Certainly about to be that time here in SC. I’ve been catching more fish shallow lately but they haven’t been wanting to hit a topwater readily. Water temps are probably at their crest right now, going to start to see them fall soon.

[@EarlSChristy]

Thanks, I needed that!

[@dalbert4991]

Good stuff!

[@collector_effectors]

Do you wait to feel pressure on a frog, wait to see the frog disappear or count before setting the hook on a frog? My frog hookset could use some work, I miss on em a lot.

[@MrFishBlood]

The most useful tip for me came from Mike Ioconelli... Wait for the blowup, then say to yourself "set the hook"... Say it out loud to yourself, and don't say it in a hurry, just normal speaking speed "set the hook"... After you say it, do it! Set the hook! The time it takes to say "set the hook" gives you about the perfect delay most of the time.

[@greghammett7894]

Frog fishing is fun but you will definitely miss some fish. I try to keep little slack in my line, if the wind is blowing this can be tough as braided line will bow on the water and get stuck on lily pads, which makes missing the fish more likely. Waiting like Ike says is crucial when they do hit. Finally, I miss very rarely with the megabass frogs. Incredible hook up ratio. I use booyah frogs a lot but the megabass just hooks them better. I know they're expensive but they are amazing. Tight lines!

[@collector_effectors]

@@greghammett7894 I had one blow up but miss my frog yesterday. We will see what happens tonight after work! Thanks for the advice guys!

[@greghammett7894]

@@collector_effectors when I said little slack in my line, I meant almost none. Just enough to walk it correctly. After rereading my 1st post that was confusing. Good luck!

Randy, this time of year a floating worm walked quickly is deadly way up the lake on Clark’s Hill

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Great pointers!

[@williamnewell7784]

This sounds crazy, but years ago a good friend who was well known as a local big bass angler around Raleigh was catching fish one day in the back of creeks while flurries were coming down on a buzz bait! Would not have believed it if I had not seen pics. Farthest bait from my mind in January.

[@Boethius411]

Randy mentioned winter top water fishing in a video about a week or so ago.

[@myriammorrison9840]

I love running the backs of coves with a creek channel or defined ditches.. any wood/brush is golden Just saying 🤷‍♀️👍

My boat is ready for pick up the shop just called me , getting it tomorrow , the time is coming

[@PeterWFishing]

yessir!

[@rickymaynard4880]

I try to use topwaters as they are in my opinion the funnest way to fish, but lots of hotshots laugh if they see you walking the dog at 12:00!

[@Esuras98]

I agree. BASS and MLF need to look at NASCAR and see what happens when you do things that cause your base to loose interest!

[@ricksonora6656]

What does “this time of year” mean in terms of trends in water temperature or feeding?

[@MrHabitat009]

Both

[@ricksonora6656]

@@MrHabitat009 Both what? He mentioned temps rising above 65 in the spring. Here, is he talking about water temp dipping below 65???

[@murphysdad2]

I have never been too successful on a top water.......except a week ago. I was fishing a small stream with a spinner. It's a feeder stream to a swamp and has a variety of species and sizes. I was tossing a spinner and it landed partially on a lily pad. Immediately the water exploded. I was so stunned I thought it missed. No, it was a pike. Not huge but fun nonetheless. Made me laugh and going to try some topwaters.

[@williamnewell7784]

Bass are crazy sometimes.

This is the time of year I smoke 4.5 & 3.5lbrs in tournaments

[@jacquelynswartz4671]

Let me tell you something the bite around me has gotten really tough the past 2 years last year I killed them on poppers this year they will not react I’ve had too really finesse them on small jigs with small trailer straight in the Matt’s dirty water creeks

[@christopherbenson1890]

Randy, one of my favorite lakes to fish down here in Texas has grass out to about 20ft. It's not all the way to the surface except for 10ft or less. Does this still apply in this situation or can I expect them to be put a little deeper on those same points?

[@mgdwj]

What lake is that? I’m in Texas also

Berkley J-Walker but it only works well for me in the fall around Oct. It's the most fun I have all year fishing and the window is so small.

It's not that complicated, but if you're using Megabass topwater, you will lose to me like my Megabass-loving brother.
