Topwater 8/16
Message:
Friday afternoon I headed out to see how the topwater bite would be with the high pressure currently effecting the fishing. Got to the ice out pond just before 2pm. 4 lures I tried throwing at the ice out pond included #1 Mepps Dressed Aglia, moss back shiner X-Rap Popper XRP-7, rainbow trout Excalibur Pop-R, and the prop bait that caught me the pig. The bite ended up being pretty slow. Lost 1 and landed a 1 pounder with the Pop-R. Later I went to grab a bite to eat and then went to Twin Brooks. 2 lures I decided to concentrate on were the Mepps and prop bait. Also tried throwing a silver shad Jointed Shallow Shad Rap JSSR-7 in some deep areas without much weed cover. I was surprised to see the bluegills and redbreasts not attacking the Mepps like they usually would. Never had a follower or hit on the JSSR-7. Had many followers and taps on the prop bait, which were mostly smaller bass. Eventually hit a 1 pound bass on the topwater at the pond that caught me the pig. Last stop at that pond produced a 16" 2 pound 10 ounce largemouth. Caught it in an area with lots of pads and was able to get it through pads with the same setup that landed me the pig.
