bartoopuck Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 So i went out last night to a local pond in ashburn va, and was crushing with my top water popper lure type thing. Does this mean the fish are done doin their groove thang, and are now hungry? I only landed 1, but had a ton of strikes in about a 20 minute period.... Quote
Jacob Robinson Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 Everywhere ive been, the fish are post spawn for the most part. There are still a few trying to spawn but ive been catching them on secondary points and stuff the past week or so. Quote

In most waters up here it seems the first wave of spawners has completed. On my favorite little fishing hole the second wave has begun since the full moon last week. yesterday we were able to see a ton of fish on beds but in deeper parts of the lake we were hammering em on topwater spook jr. Not all of the fish will spawn at once. You may be catching the pre-spawn or post spawn wave. Regardless, there are always fish out there that you can catch during any time of the year. Keep hammering em! Quote
bartoopuck Posted May 6, 2010 Author Posted May 6, 2010 The other day i was out there and noticed tons of fishing hitting the top of the water for bugs or whatever. being the genius i am, i put a floating popper on my line. 4 trips of about 1/2 hour each, i have hit for 8 or so fish. so in my mind, top water is where its at, right now. When do you think this will change? Quote
