Topwater popper bite has been on!

[FivePoundBluegill]

Caught all these fish the past few days on poppers. I used Lucky Craft G Splash and the Rapalla Skitter Pop.

This bass was hungry! Just inhaled it.

I have found I can only seem to catch good numbers of bass on the Lucky Craft G Splash and the Rapalla Skitter Pop poppers. I think that is because you can get a different action with these two poppers than you normally would with other poppers. The G splash I would most of the time not even really pop the lure but just sit it on top and twitch it 2-3 times then let it sit and twitch it 1 time, then twitch it 2-3 more times. I would normally do this on a somewhat slow retrieve with a couple second breaks between the twitches. I hope other people have been catching topwater bass too.

Finally!!!  Somebody who tells me how they're fishing the popper!!  Thanks for the info on how you work your bait-it is greatly appreciated.  Very nice fish man--makes the heart skip a little when they hit don't it!  Fish on, John.

WTG nice. My brother tried other day with no luck. I haven't messed with it this year. Last year the rebel and hula was lighting them up for me. I caught me a 3.5 last year on the hula.

NICE! There is nothing like a topwater bite. I've been having a lot of fun the last 2-3 weeks with dog walking lures. The conditions here have been unbelievable for it. I couldn't let that opportunity go by!

Congrats on your trip! Looks & sounds like you had a lot of fun out there.

LOVE the top water bite, my favorite.

My biggest LMB to date came on a LC G-splash!

there are plenty of threads here on fishing poppers, search for them...

Yeah I agree with this. There are also many other ways you can work a popper. Just like there are many ways you can work most baits. What I said was one example of a retrieve that worked for me... Anyway I am glad I did teach you a retrieve that you may want to try out.

Nice looking fish.  Great explanation on how you were fishing the top water plug.
