Fishnwire Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 All I wanna do is throw top-waters for smallies. Even if my partner in the boat is producing fish, and I can't raise one on my poppers, I'm just can't seem to stop thowin' 'em. That rush you get when a big bass breaks surface simply does not compare to the feeling of a fish taking bait below surface. I'd rather see a single fish break water on a top-water than land 5 equivalent fish from the deep. I'm addicted. I`m ruined for subsurface fishing. I need help.

MCTFisher9120 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Topwater rules man, why do you think the fish's eyes are on top of there head...there system is designed to look up and BAM topwater can be the most productive technique going. No matter where I am if the option is to wake up early 5 O clock I'm up and fishing with a skitter pop or something similar. Cheers to Explosive fishing!

Fishnwire Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 My problem is that even if I know top-waters are not the most productive presentation, I'll still elect to throw 'em. Lately I'd rather experience one or two surface smashers than to tie into a dozen different bass below the surface. There are times when I know that other presentations have a better chance of catching fish, but refuse to put down my top-water rod. I swear to God putting down that top-water rod is like trying to put down a crack-pipe...despite what's best for me...I just don't care. Oh God...just gimme one more heart-pounding surface blast...just one more...I NEED IT! Don't hold back on me...if I don't get what I need then send me to re-hab. PLEASE JUST HIT THAT POPPER!!!!!! I'm dying here. I`m begging! Doesn`t that sound like your typical addict? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singingdog Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Add a buzzbait to your topwater smallie action...nothing as heart-stopping as a good buzzbait bite, and they often hit it when they won't hit other topwaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricoboxing Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'd rather catch 3 fish on buzzbait, than 6 fish on a worm... But I'd rather catch 6 fish on a worm, than 0 fish on a buzzbait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpmclean Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'd have to agree on this one too I have had nothing but good times using the Rebel "Crickhopper" Amazing action. Gets some larger fish sometimes too - just throw it at the reeds and boom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
