For the record..........

I have stated many times the most fun thing you can do with your clothes on is fish beds for bass.

Well I will go on record as saying the second most fun thing you can do with your clothes on is throwing walk the dog baits over deep, 15 to 20 feet, weedlines.

Got into the Largemouth on Saturday morning. Throwing a Zara Spook and a Lucky Craft Sammy.

Nothing huge but a bunch of 14 to 18" fish.

bed fishing is OK for me, but not nearly as fun as an aggressive topwater bite. my second favorite thing is throwing a weightless wacky presentation and line-watching like a hawk.

I have stumbled across that pattern a few times. It's a blast

I have never seen that but then again I never tried it Sounds like a great time!!

Topwater bite was going for my friends and I yesterday. We had some great action on buzzbaits in 3-6' of water.

Sounds like fun. I haven't been on a lake with a 15-20 foot weed line in quite a while. I haven't thrown a spook in a while either. I had a lot of luck with one a couple years ago then some other bait must have got my attention. I have been tossing a 6" lunker punker around a bit this year with limited success. It's a different animal. It's definitely feeling like topwater time.

You can see the cabbage I was fishing in this pic.

I would agree. I got into the smallies mid September last year in 14-20ft on a spook. I was on a lake in the boundary waters. Most of the smallies were 2.5-3.5lbs. The bite was nonstop for 1.5hours. Best topwater bite I have ever had.

Amazing how far they'll come up for a walk the dog bait isn't it?

I know people usually think mid-summer for topwaters, but for me the best topwater bite of the season is just starting. Buzzbaits and WTD baits when the water is between 60 and 50 can be just killer on big fish.
