Early Fall Topwater Tips! (How To Choose The Right Bait For The Conditions)

Come along for an EPIC evening of Topwater Fishing! The guys are catching BIG Largemouth and Smallmouth on topwater and swimbaits! In the midst of the catching, Tim gives some great tips about how to choose the right topwater for the conditions, and how he knows when to switch between them.

Big fish on topwater is the pinnacle of bass fishing! Evenings like this make memories that last a lifetime. If you haven't experienced fishing like this, it might be time to up your topwater game. From the Shower Blows, to the Giant Dog X, every bait has its place. It's all about understanding what makes them different, and recognizing how to use them to your advantage.

Top water bite in the dark is best. You can't see where your bait is & the strike scares the shit out of you. I get the chills thinking about it.

Thanks for the tips! When Coop was netman all I thought of was his topwater was going to get hit and take his combo off your deck. Definitely exciting catches and time spent with your friend!

Watching yesterday’s video waiting for this one to come out

[edbast]

Truly like your videos, they are greatly informative and entertaining...with all of the ba ground noise with all the lures and baits, great to see someone cut through all the BS

[enriqueburruel]

Nice video. Please make a video about moon phases at different year seasons and about muddy water in hot weather. Thanks and keep the good job

[lpbass]

Tim nice mixed bag, the best lakes up north are the ones that the fish have INK on there faces lol.

Ive never had much luck on topwater while the sun is hitting the water. Only during overcast or after the sun goes behind the trees

I've got a terminal tackle question; do you two ever use clips instead of knots to attach lures to the line? If so for what techniques?

[northernbassalliance]

Wish i wasnt deploying! I would be in the upper peninsula slaying 5lbrs thisfall.

[justincopley]

made 4th comment yes lol love the video

[wiffbob]

Looks like your casts are a mile long. The retrieve takes forever to get the fish back to the boat. Good times 😎

[SGMB]

Big ol boat and you fish elbow to elbow. I guess so you can both be in the video. I like your instructional videos though, just thought it weird that you crowd each other.

Will the giant dog x work in Midwest stained water?

What's your impression of the Daiwa Steez SV TW, please? I'm considering an upgrade from Daiwa Zillions & would appreciate some real-world feedback.

What rod was Coop using for the larger topwaters he was tossing? Hard to imagine he was using the BMG with 18lb fluoro?
