I know there are articles, etc on topwater fishing, but I have a question I couldn't find the answer to. Down here in GA, the surface temp ranges from 86 to 90, and I wondered, as I hauled water this morning, if it is ever, even in the early dawn hour, too hot even for topwater? I seem to think not--any other thoughts and felings on this? Insights?

I am planning on a little night fishing, but I won't be able to pull off an eight hour jaunt. So it's either fish from sundown (I'm in middle georgia by the way) until one in the morning or wake up and fish from about four in the morning until nine a.m. . Which times do you think would offer the best chance of success? Thanks for the help.

Are all the other companies offering 3d? I can only seem to find the Humminbird model. Thanks!

Just got back (had to get in to work!) after fishing the rip rap. Had no luck with topwater, but who'd a thunk that a plastic frog and lizards would be the lures of choice for the bass. The water is very clear in that part of the lake and they seemed to liked= the slow-fished, texas rigged lizard. Thanks for all the help. Putting it in the journal.

I am looking to get a new sonar unit, hopefully under $500.00. What is perhaps the most important aspect of a sonar unit. Right now I have a bottom of the line humminbird unit. What's better and why??

The dam on my lake has tremendous riprap, at least a quarter mile of the stuff. I'm planning on hitting it early. Because the dam is located in the southeast part of the lake, the water right in front of the riprap stays in shade a little longer than the main lake. Does the shade keep the potential for some good topwater action the same as if the sun hasn't quite come up yet? And if not, what's good to fish along the riprap if the topwater ain't working. I know the fish are there, I've had luck there in mid afternoon a lot lately.

I'm in Georgia and its humid, hot, sticky a lot of the time. But to keep cool on the water, I just drop anchor and jump in for a little swim around the boat.
