It's Time to Think Top Water
With all the weird weather this year the one thing missing for me has been a top water bite, it's gone from warm to cold and cold to warm so many different ways that I never felt the top water bite was really on. Well I am here to tell you it finally is and I have some favorite ways to catch them on top!
The first thing I must tell you, if you're an avid frog fisherman the Tru-Tungsten Mad Maxx frog in blue or green color is as good as it gets, we are catching frog fish and plenty of them. We are catching them on the bank edges, over and around grass, on the river channel, under boat houses and around docks. The Mad Maxx frog is producing some monsters and it's a lot of fun! One of the best secrets about the Mad Maxx frog that a lot of people don't know is with the very specifically placed weight the Mad Maxx is easily skipped under boat houses and docks, when a fish hits it the frog is generally hidden under the dock and the explosion and sound excites you know end!
Next is the Secret Weapon Buzz-Bait, this bait produces a little different sound and because of its small willow leaf blade attached to the end of the bait displaces water differently and causes some great explosions. This buzz-bait in red is a dangerous weapon on Guntersville. Pulled just fast enough to stay up on top of grass is producing numbers and plenty of action. You can buy the SWL product on line at www.secretweaponlures.com and get a 30% discount by using my code FLGGS9, or any other product SWL sells.
These two baits are best in class not only catching ability but in hooks as they both have extremely sharp hooks that catch fish; you can get them all bent up or smashed and crushed from a big fish, perform a little straightening and maintenance and they are ready to go again. The good times are here, the top water bite is on!
