How to Catch Bass on Topwater Lures

7/29/2014

0 Comments

 
There are many ways to catch Large Mouth Bass, which include using topwater lures, which make disturbances on the surface of the water to attract fish. Topwaters can be fished almost anywhere at any time, which makes it difficult to chose a single lure in a certain situation. Please read on to find out how to fish top water lures for Large Mouth Bass.

Steps

1.  Look at your collection of lures to start. In general, topwater lures tend to work best in the late spring, summer and fall. In hot weather, topwaters will produce on schooling bass; in dense cover, fish a buzzbait right over the heads of bass. This means that different shapes work better than others. The same goes for color. Topwater color should match in a general way that of the dominant forage in your lake, but the color should more closely match that of baitfish than bottom-dwelling creatures.
  • Therefore, a silver topwater would tend to be a better choice than a brown one.

  • However, at night , use a black topwater, since black is the color that stands out most dramatically against the night sky to a bass looking upward.

  • Chrome is an excellent choice in many reservoirs because it matches the colors of many baitfish, including alewives and shad.

  • Sometimes a bright secondary color such as red or orange adds to the productivity of the lure.

2.  Determine the depth at which you are fishing. Topwaters are excellent baits for fishing big, open water as well as shallow shorelines. For example, if there is a drop-off from 15 to 25 feet, a topwater will often draw strikes from bass that are suspended there, especially in clear water.

3.  Consider the structure you are fishing over. Long, tapering points are great places to try topwaters. Move to the end of the point and cast the area where the point falls off into deep water with a big topwater such as a stick bait. In extremely clear water with little structure, a silver, white, or gold minnow lure twitching quietly on the surface will often produce explosive strikes.

4.  Chose the right bait for the body of water. Fish topwaters quickly in rivers and around extremely heavy cover. A buzzbait is ideal for these situations. The idea is to fish the lure fast over the heads of bass, provoking a reaction strike. In a river, bass may not enter the current to strike.

Tips
  • Try to spot sunken logs or trees, along with rocks. Fish will often come out of their elusive hiding spots for a tantalizing topwater.
  • Try different lures if one isn't producing. The fish have to hit on something, so keep trying until you find the right one.
  • Make sure you have the right tackle for the place you are fishing and the type of topwater.
  • Remember to start at the norteastern side of the lake. This area should produce well, as it is home to the most life.
