Color Fiend

I must say, I am a sucker for a good day of fishing topwater. To me there is nothing better than waking up in the morning and see the winds at 5 km / h and knows the lake or river will be glass.

I may even be a topwater fanatic to a fault, always looking for that next great discovery, fiending for her, unwilling to abandon or change its tactics until I get my fix. I can spend 6 hours of casting the hook even in the same lake, without a shot and still full of hope because I know sooner or later I'll see a line, feel a strike and see that big fish break the surface and dance through the water as gravity has been nonexistent.

But what makes fishing topwater effective? What can we do to ensure more hits and more fish landed? Here's what I noticed in my recent experience. Natural colors, everything is said, nothing beats them. When I take a lure as a scumfrog, hula popper, chug bug or jitter bug I always make sure to get the darker colors more realistic. I have about 10 hula poppers from green to white and red, using all equally, I noticed that I've never taken anything that wasn't the "natural".

When I hit the lake or river and I have my scumfrog, jitter bug and Popper hoola I know its going to be a good day. For example, I was fishing Muskrat River a few days ago while throwing in my box, just to see what would lead a strike, having nothing for about an hour, I decided to talk to a fishing boat local, other banks, he said: "Topwater Hasn 't work all year! "But me being stubborn as everyone knows I can be that I started throwing scumfrog right to the edge of coverage, some plasters, FISH ON!

Now that may not always be the case and I can not answer for natural colors, but each fisherman knows decent coordinate your bait with the conditions. water or natural cover I'll always throw green, brown or even black. Darker water or on several days I'll throw my experience with white, yellow and red.

Just be aware of conditions and you can not go wrong, even if you do not land a lunker nothing beats a good day on the water.
