I probably do the opposite. If I get bit once early, you will have a hard time prying from my hand. On the plus side the bites I do get later in the day are usually bigger fish and more explosive. After youve gone a few hours without a bite and one blasts it, it will scare the carp out of you.

I'm guilty of chunking one all day...love it.

Your right.......bright sunshine days are PERFECT conditions for a topwater all day!

Let me know how many tournaments you win with that pattern!

I was just kidding with ya but since you brought it up I can think of at least 10 to 15 of the top of my head. I sure I can think of a lot more if I dig a little.

I'm terrible with topwaters, I just don't know when to use what when. Size, popper vs. walker etc..

Ironically topwater is what got me addicted to bass fishing in the first place, lol, go figure.

I was a kid sitting on the end of the pier with my bobber and worm catching brim. This older kid (teenager) comes walking down the walkway and starts throwing a lucky 13 down the shoreline. I set my rod down and went over to watch him fascinated with how he was fishing. About 5 minutes later a nice bass blows up on that lucky 13. I bugged my dad for weeks that I 'needed' that lure. I've been broke ever since

I might could believe that on a frog, but if your talkin about throwing some other topwater on a bright sun shine day in the middle of the day I am going to call BS on that! That pattern is waaaaay to inconsistent for one person to win that many tournments on a pattern like that. Heck......thats a ton of wins for anyone, much less on that type of pattern. Maybe club tournaments but you aint going to win that many fishing against the big dogs doing that!

Just sayin!

Early in the morning or all days when the weather is scortching hot.

Ok Im not gonna get in a pissn match with ya. But I almost won a divisional championship throwing a buzzbait all day (boat broke down the final day and cost me). The guy that won it was throwing a frog all day. Got to that championship throwing a yellow magic all day on Rayburn. Ive got more but Ill leave it at that. And as for winning club tournaments, join mine and we'll see how well you do. Its H.O.T Bass Assassins and were meeting tonight although you cant fish till next month per our rules. BTW in case you didnt get it the first time I WAS JUST JOKING. But I guess you know more about what fish think than I do. Just saying. Im out before this gets ugly. Night everyone

Yes they can work all day....on occasion. I can say I have never put down a topwater while they were still working!

Caught biggest under 2pm bluebird throwing topwater year before last in berkley tourney. won boat that tourney and won next 2 tourneys on fork doing same thing. doesnt happen all the time but won about 35,000.00 in 2 months with that pattern

That USED to be a well kept secret at Fork. THANKS

Sorry, didnt think about lettting the secret out. shoulda kept quiet till after the Legend Tourney.

caught 30lb of fish on fork on the first3 cast on top water sp image but remember be patient and wait that the key.you think I had just flush the toilet all 10 +

That can work all day.

Some my best bass have come in the middle of the day on top water.
