fishing topwaters

When fishing around dense cover in a shallow lake, remove the treble hook of a popper or chugger and replace with a single weedless hook for fewer hang-ups.
When fishing topwaters, wait for the lure to disappear before setting the hook.
Keep one rod equipped with a topwater lure while fishing. When you spot a feeding bass working the surface, cast the topwater to it.
Topwaters are excellent lures to teach children the fun of bass fishing. Once they see a bass explode on their lure, they're hooked!
