I love topwater action also but I prefer to fish at night and am addicted to fishing needles on the beaches or sometimes bombers. Anyway to get a fish on the other end is fine by me. Jigs have gotten me my largest fish though.

I do 99% of my fishing in the dark so I rarely get to see the fish hit. I would say my favorite type of fishing is with needles. Crawling a blurple Habs with a nice NE wind in your face, letting the plug roll around in the surf and then feeling that light pick up, almost like fishing eels. Or fishing a blorange afterhours needle on a fall night when the surf is basically flat but there is a strong current due to the moon. Fishing it a bit faster than the habs and adding a very light twitch and pause every once in awhile. Or fishing a big 3oz black and gold Mac Pikie. I tuned this plug to perfection and it swims PERFECT. Toss it around this one rock pile where fish consistently hold. The water moving around the rock from the incoming and outgoing waves cause the plug to swim with out any reeling. I hold it there and repeat. When the fish takes during this situation it is a lot different from fishing needles, at times it can be furocious(sp?). Is it May yet? I like this thread bigfish

I love fishin spooks/howdys bass just nail those things. Redfins are annother thing i just love to fish, you can really make that plug do some nifty tricks, i guess they would be considered topwater also.

my favorite is fishing dawn.. the water is glass calm and im crawling a danny in at the slowest possible retreive with a little twitch here and a pop there. The coffee hasnt set in yet and i can hardly stay awake and then it happens. The heavens open up and the great bass god drops a 20 lb cinderblock out of the sky onto my plug and theres a cow bass in the mid 2o's shooting halfway out of the water only to crash back in. It sounds trying to remove the plug from its mouth any way it can. it takes about 20 yards on its first run, and then i slowly winch it in carefully paying attention not to pull the hooks. I beach it and slowly make love to it while a sweedish looking blond cheers me on smearing herself with bunker oil.


yeah i like topwater

The largest portion of my stripers are caught on jigs. Also throw some subsurface plugs and catch on them. That said, I'm still a topwater junkie Spring time, at night, some good topwater action on swimmers. Very quiet on the lake, right up against a rock cliff, you can just barely make out the V-wake of a small swimmer coming oh so slow on top BLAM!!! it gets hit Right up against the rock like that creates an extra loud echo.
