Topwater night fishing

[Cooter]

Haven't done that much of it, but am trying to come up with some topwater alternatives to the slower Creeper or Hawg Wobbler presentations. Thinking of a Top Raider or Topper Stopper. Anyone tried these or something similar at night? Or is slow the way to go at night?

Both those baits work well after dark and there are many others to chose from as well. When they are active "Speed Kills" so don't be afraid to do some fast crankin when fishing at night.

Its pretty sweet to hear the water erupt at night, there's definitely a thrill factor to it. I've used jackpots but had a lot of misses. I've found that the dancing raider gets less misses, I'm guessing that the fish can target it a little better since it makes some noise.

I like a steady retreive at night, I think they can key in on the bait easier? The Top Raider or Super Top Raider is my favorite. It's real easy to set the hooks too soon during the darkness, I still have issues with that once in a while.

Thanks much for the suggestions - am glad to hear some faster topwater presentations work at night as I often run out of patience with the H. Wobbler or Creeper - especially if I'm want to cover water. Please let May 28 arrive quickly!
