    Hey guys, I just got in from a frustrating afternoon of fishing. I had about 30 minutes left till I had to leave, and so far I had (unsuccessfully) thrown the kitchen sink at them. Not one fish on any lure. It was very calm, and around 7pm, the fish started to jump everywhere. Normally I ignore these since they are hard to catch, but today I figured i had nothing to lose and tied on a hula popper. In about 30 minutes, I had had two fish go for the lure and not take it and two fish take it fully in their mouths and go underwater, but I couldn't boat either one. The weird part is, it was right in the middle of the lake. I don't have a fish finder so I don't know whats down there. Are topwater strikes normal for the middle of the lake? Do you guys think this means there is some structure or cover down there? Thanks in advance!

    I'm looking for help gentleman. Sorry if this is a repost, initial search didn't yield results I was looking for. I've had bass bump it, inspect it, but nothing has destroyed it yet. My methods of using it: Far cast, try to get it near vegetation (lilly pads etc.) Let it sit about 10 seconds or until wake is basically settled. I then give it a good enough tug that it submerges. Then I wait. I repeat this process until the lure is close to me, then reel in and repeat. Sometimes I slow retrieve it, stop, pop it, wait for a possible inspecting fish to nail it, then slow retrieve again. My question, am I popping it too hard? Should it be retrieved at all, or just popped over and over? I really enjoy fishing new baits and being successful with them. This one, I cannot get it going. Also, I use 15# braid with a 20# mono leader and I tie it with a loop knot. (I usually fish heavy heavy vegetation areas.)
