May is one of my favorite times of the year - topwater time!
Spook?
Sammy?
Yellow Magic?
Pop-R?
Which one, why, and what color?

relatively calm water; yellow magic-tennessee shad
windy; super spook jr (red head)
pre-emergent grass; buzzbait (white/chart on overcast, black on sunny)
matted grass; frog, same color decisions as buzzbait.

I've experimented with a couple of different brands of buzzbaits over the years. What's your choice?

Yellow Magic in Ale Wife! I still use other poppers but, the sound is different with the yellow magic poppers.

Yellow Magic - Smoked Shad
As far as buzzbaits are concerned, look into Honeybuzz. Their buzzbaits are the best I have ever used.

Yellow Magic for a popper and a Gunfish for "walk the dog" type baits.

Rico - Lightning Shad.
I quit fishing yellow magics years ago, may be in my head, but the rico catches 'em better. Had it proved to me again on Lake Tyler about 3 weeks ago. 3 fish on 3 casts, with a yellow magice thrown on the same grass line with no fish by my buddy.

My favorite is the Storm Rattlin' Chug Bug wth a blue back and silver bottom. Pops, spits, and walks the dog. I've caught more fish on it than a Pop-R or Yellow Magic, but I confess that I have fishd it more because I have such confidence in it.
In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.

Caught a 7lber, 5.5lber and a 5lber on one in a Tournament out there two weeks ago.
