I live within 2 miles from a 2-2.5 acre stormwater pond. It's conveniently a block away from my primary gas station; so I make my pit stops a handful times per week. I've caught numerous poundies last year and the max depth is only 6-8 feet at most and really in only two pockets, the north end and southeast corner. When it runs shallow in the heat of summer, these are the only spots where you can't see the bottom. So my question is, is topwater game all day when it gets shallow? Better yet, can I run topwater year round (even as soon as ice out)?
My choice in topwaters are zara pups/spook jrs, torpedoes, and buzz baits (nothing more than 3/8 oz) at a distant third. I frog once in a while, but I still have to work on my timing.
Tight lines,
