Topwaters yet

I figure its still a little early in the season but anyone tossing topwaters yet?
I did fairly well last year with poppers and buzzbaits but I didn't start chucking them until later in the summer. Is there an ideal water temp that clues you in when to give them a go?

Top water is a go. I usually throw frogs in the prespawn throughout the year.

I have been doing pretty well with top water Rapalas - including 5 fish this morning at Benson. A couple of them were in the 3 pound range.

Should be good to go for topwaters. A good time to start topwater is during the postspawn. I'm pretty sure, some bass are in that phase.

AS soon as the water temperature hits 60 I am throwing rage tail shad and frogs,,
I have been doing quite well with them on Newman, Silver and Deer lake, up in the pads. Now for the fly rod, I wont throw poppers and divers until the water temp is 64 to 67 for bass.

I really appreciate the feedback. I would have guessed it was to early but its good to have folks in the know. I will give them a go this weekend.
Thanks again
Kevin

I was out a couple of weeks ago and know of a place with post smallies. I threw some topwater with no hits, I did throw out a jerkbait pulled some nice smallies. The place was missing baitfish, that's when I notice topwaters work best. Spring has really dragged her feet this year.

A great topwater bait is the Reaction Skinny dippr, you can fish it on the surface or fish it as a jerkbait.

Try them...

Here is a great website for bass fishing information http://www.wired2fish.com/ and the link below is a list of what baits to try during what time of the year, water clarity and temperature.

Thanks again folks,really appreciate it. No doubt that topwaters are producing. Had a great weekend with the family doing some topwater bass'n. No hawgs for us but the numbers game was solid and that was the key,just want to keep them interested in fishing but hopefully I can find some toads soon. Thanks again!

I have had a couple nice frog fish this year. Throw em next time you are out there getting sun burnt.

Top water time it is. Throw Vixens,Bowsticks,chugger style baits, frogs for great early morning and evening action as well as on cloudy days. Jerk Baits are also working from now until October.
