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.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

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

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  |

Nebe, You Hedonist!!!!
Top-o-water for yah-yahs for sure! Big spook from the yak worked slowwwwwly over a submerged boulder field...... BAM!!!! Who says Bass don't jump!!!! Nothin' like a Nantucket Sleigh Ride with a 20/30 pound bass as your mule team :-)
But I love the mystery of the night as well. Those dark ones where every once in a while the hair on the back of your neck stands straight up on end for no reason, and you just have to get your a** out of there right now kind of nights.....

You're standing on a rock about a 1/2 hour before sunrise, where the sky is almost a slate blue color. Thick fog to where you can only see 15-20 feet in front of you and the water is like glass. Your working a popper back out of the fog 1/2 asleep and then BAM!!! 20 lb'er hits it and suddenly you feel like you just drank 20 cups of coffee. Your line starts to peel and is running to the left. you play your foe until he finally submits and you drag him up on the rocks.
You drag your prize back to solid land and are greeted by Jessica Alba wearing a "barely there" string bikini. She walks over to you. looks up and says in a whisper "I want you to make me feel like a woman". So I gaze deeply in her Eyes and say firmly " OK.....Go Clean this fish and make me some breakfast"
OK so I took some creative license on the 2nd paragraph but the 1st one happened, and he was released to swim another day. That was the was the coolest morning I ever had.....to me Topwater is a blast. Just watching them crash that lure is a rush

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. Real
