First top water bass of the year...

[DitchPanda]

Went to my local pond for a few hours this morning. Was cloudy with a light wind and rain off and in. Caught 7 largemouth between 2-3.5lbs on a black buzz bait. Solid outing.

Last week I caught a good number of fish on top water(mostly on the smaller side)  I lost 2 large fish right at the boat. The funny thing is that I had the most luck in late morning (11ish) the ponds have been good about an HR before dark. Had good luck with a Lucky Craft Gunfish.

I love those top water fish. I’ve been catching on walking lures and whopper ploppers but no takes on the pop r yet.

I've caught a few on a Tiny Torpedo.  Lost what would have been a PB on a frog.

I lost what would have been my first bass on topwater of 2021 sunday I miss topwater explosions

Kinda hoping for more of the same tomorrow..weather looks identical. Probably bring a frog and a Texas rigged lizard for a follow up bait. I used a senko for a follow up today and for some crazy reason they wouldn't touch it.

I threw a Senko the other evening and nothing for over a half an hour, meanwhile my wife had on a 6” Zoom lizard and caught 5 bass. I switched to those new to me Max Scent big purple worms and had 8 or 9 bass on in the next half an hour and got 5 in. Try the old purple worm and see how it goes.

I've been having this happen for a week now.  Go figure. Just when you think you've figured it out...?

Nice going! The topwater bite is starting around here also.  Mostly on walking baits.

Huh. I seem to be catching them a lot on the senko. I caught my Pb of 2021 a few weeks ago and all of the largemouth that I caught while wading today on a Green Pumpkin Senko. Maybe it’s just Michigan, though. And also I want to try my topwaters when I can fish in the morning this weekend!

I've been catching alot on a senko as well until today. Threw me off cuz people say its the best follow up bait.

I like a fluke for a follow-up bait.  Always worked well for me.

More of the same today...6 fish on the buzz bait again. Lost a 5lber on a craw tube.
