Hey everyone, I'm glad to be here. I fished alot as a kid, but have done very little fishing for the last 15 years or so. I'm 29 now. I'm just getting back into fishing and I'm loving it. Growing up I mostly fished for bass. Recently I've been fishing for catfish, mainly because there isn't much work involved. But I'd like to do more bass fishing, and learn from people who have more experience than I do. I have caught alot of tiny bass this year on live worms, and finally caught a decent sized one (Probably 2 lbs) yesterday. I would like to do some fishing with topwater lures, but I've never had much success with them. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Good to have you aboard, Top-water can be a great tool for fishing Bass, it just can’t be your only tool. I know a lot of guys who will throw top water no matter the time of day or the weather conditions, as long as you’re trying to find spots where the Bass may hold or hide behind/beside cover you’ll do better. Frogs are an animal all of their own, so I’d suggest just starting with a Rapala jointed top water, cast to shore and bring her back with as much wobble as you can, pick out grass lines, and in front of pad’s. Trust me work the fallen timber and you’ll be smiling holding lunkers in no time…
