How to Select the Right Topwater Lure - Bass Fishing Tips

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.ค. 2016
  • Hopefully this video will help every angler when it comes to selecting topwater lures based on weather conditions. The two most important factors in lure selection are water temperature and wind. I also group topwater baits based on their speed category and give a detailed explanation on which speeds to use throughout the year. Use the noisier baits when the wind is high and the quiet baits when its slick. School session is over, now its time to do some topwater bass fishing folks!

      BamaBass. Since your the Professor of topwater action. I thought you might be able to help....I once had a cross breed between a popper and spook. It had a face like a popper but the bottom side of the face came to a point. Almost the shape of a heart...if the top side of the heart was rounded off.. (}

    not only did I like this format it is the reason I subscribed, with so much bass info online these breakdowns help viewers to remember the overall use of each piece of gear/technique.

    I find top water does well for large mouth over here.
    Really enjoy poppers on flat water without wind.

    This was really helpful, thanks. We normally fish trout but found ourselves at a lake with massive stripers jumping all around us. We were throwing every type of lure at them and only caught Croppie, so clearly we were using the wrong lure for the conditions. Looking forward to trying out your recommendations next time!

    Man, what an informative overview. I watch several of the you tubers I consider more informative that the run on the mill people. But watching this, I had no idea how ignorant I was about these topwaters. I know have to watch every one of your teaching vids. Teaching vids are my favorite. I am much more informed and less ignorant that I was, when I took up fishing again in April. Wow but a long way to go. Thanks for your help, and love the blow up vids. If you had a printed area, where i didnt have to take notes so fast, lol. But I wouldnt give all my hard work away that easily either. I you travel to Louisiana, and fish any of the lakes arount North East Louisiana, let me hear from you ..............DS toledo bend, caddo, and it puts you close to Texoma, Lake of the Pines, Sam rayburn, and Lake fork. Good look and thanks .......................... educational.................. yeh

  • @debloisdogs9993

    The 5 part series would be awesome! 3) Understanding Big Bass and 5) Cameras and filming would be the two I would mostly be interested in especially if you can recommend cameras. The blow up videos are awesome! But I really enjoy your educational videos because out of all the guy I watch you hands down catch the biggest fish on a consistent basis and I really like to know how you do it. One more thing I just received my first Whopper Plopper from you guys on Monday. Took it out Tuesday morning and caught 13 in about an hour...awesome lure!
