What water temps do you typically start throwing top waters at?

Heard of some guys catching them on topwaters, and had a fish eat my sq bill on top of the water. Just curious when y’all pick the topwaters back up ?

When ever the bass move shallow in the spring I throw one just because.

I'm on the gulf coast below Houston, but the bass have been on topwater flies for a week or so. Same principle as a topwater lure.

The spawn appears to be over here, just. Water temperature must be about 70. These deer hair divers bubble on movement and dive down a few inches when stripped. I caught fish all yesterday morning on them.

Last two years I have started when water temps hit the 50s.

Well, I'm not a pro fisherman yet but if one ate my SB off the top, I think that would be a good clue to give TW a shot!

Normally I start throwing a TW with a lot of confidence at the tail end of the spawn. This normally correlates with the water temp being in the low to mid-70's. Several things factor into this decision however. Water clarity, cover, conditions of the day all play major roles on my decision to throw a TW plug. That's the cool thing about bass fishing. There are no rules and what worked yesterday may go ignored the next day.

I've heard 60 degrees

I was his fishing partner this tournament and we couldn’t catch a fish over 2 1/2 pounds to save our life after finding tons of 3 & 4 pounders in practice. Of course in the last 10 minutes a 4 pounder ate a squarebill on top which was too late to try and catch some more on topwater..

Caught several on it this weekend

8 pounds on an olive deer hair diver off the dock.

Caught one last month on a frog in low 40's water in De. Was only 2' deep but she hammered it.

True dat, on Fork you better be ahead of the crowd, not in it.

Low 50's with the right condition

Whenever I get the feeling. fish don't have thermometers

8 pounds on an olive deer hair diver off the dock. Wow, I'm pumped.

bone colored yellow magic year round -----highest producing bait in my boat !--cooler water temps means slow it down --get hit about 90 % of the time with it sitting static
