Jigfishn10,

I'm in, first year of top water great way to learn some more form the group. I’ll be representing the southwestern portion of Ohio.

Awesome birdy, I'll add you to the group. If you have any questions on topwater, ask away. I believe you make 17 and I'm sure a lot of us will be sure to try and answer your question.

Sure, I will give this a try. Jitterbugs and poppers always caught fish for me.

Awesome TerryR. Just added you to the list.

Good luck!

Should be quite awesome! Best of luck everyone! I will start on the trophy during one the many boring and rainy nights we have coming! Pics when its done!

I would like in as well, please. I will be fishing NY, NJ, PA, and CT.

tjc76, I must apologize for adding your name to our list before welcoming you. I thought I did? Maybe a senior moment?

Glad you're able to join us...LOL

SAHWEET!

Good luck.

Wow, I expected 5 or 6 peeps to be in on this, but we have 19 so far!

I personally hope this goes well this year. I'm sure there will be some bumps in the road, but It appears like we have a great group of guys here.

I'd like to get in if there's still time. I'll be fishing NY and CT this year. Thanks.

Sure backwater4, just added ya...good luck!

Ill get in on this after all I did catch my pb of 8.8lbs last year on a topwater mouse and I released her maybe I can convince her again this year.

Thanks clayton86, just added you to the list...Good luck!

I'm in if I still can!!

Hello...the cutoff date???...May 29 Midnight by the time stamp on the message?

LOL...On May 29th @ 11:59:59 pm you can start on your back cast...

Good Luck grandpa1114!

Thanks....And good luck to all.

Sure, why not. I'd like to join.

Good deal Jugger, I'll add you to the list...Good luck. Be sure to post your fish catch on the other Northeast Topwater Tourney thread.

Well folks, it's here, a few more hours to go!

This should be a lot of fun.

Good luck to you all and happy fishing!

Hopefully I'll be out in the AM; water is still crazy high but the topwater box is organized and ready for deployment. In other words... "Its on like Donkey Kong!"

Just gave my dad a really nice setup for his birthday today, he was very happy with it.

Well I went twice and caught 2 fish. As you can see I can't post them in the other thread, do pickerel count!

Conditions weren't really good for topwater, to be honest with you.

Anyone else try?

Yup, went out on Tuesday night, no top water hits at all. Switched over to a grub and caught a 17inch long 10 inch girth LMB right away. Wanted to cry!

Yeah, I fished over the weekend and indeed did some topwater trails. Caught one dink smallie on a Kelly J and a decent slime dart on a Rebel Pop-R.

I have a swampy spot I'm going to try a toad and a Money Hound in... See if anything is lurking.

What is a slime dart?
