Topwater Largemouth temps?

Featured Replies

I was just wondering if someone knew what temps topwater is effective at.  I am fishing a bass tourney this Sunday and the surface temps are around 60 degrees.  Should I lay low with drop shots and c-rigs, finesse, etc. or even bother with topwaters?  Any help is appreciated....NEED HELP IN INDIANA!!!

Palastine Lake...up by Warsaw....three weeks ago the surface temps were around 78 and then a cold front came thru with a lot of rain and it shot down to 61....

You migh be able to get some topwater bites, I wouldn't stick with the bait real long if they aren't hitting them though. Also go slow with the topwater.

A lot of people say that the magic temp for topwater is 55. I wouldn't rule it out and would definitely give it a try if conditions are otherwise favorable for topwater.

One never knows until he tries.
