  • There is nothing more exciting than watching a big bass blow up on a topwater popper. Given the right time and conditions, topwater lures like a popper can be a very effective and efficient way to catch fish. With most topwaters you can cover water quickly and trigger reaction strikes from bass that might pass up a different presentation. Here BassinBill96 breaks down two topwater poppers and how you can fish them to catch more bass.

      I’d find a new spot then. Some areas have more fish, the time of day, weather/water temp, amount of wind, etc. all play a part.

    Back in June here in eastern Kentucky, I caught 24 bass in 40 mins on my local lake. I was about to head home after I good morning of fishing, I was putting my rods up in the boat and had drifted off the point I’d last fished, And was out in 80 feet deep water and a topwater feeding frenzy broke out right behind me. The only rod I had on the deck still had that same pearl Googan Blooper tied on. I literally was catching them every cast. I stopped counting around 15 fish, But too top it off, the last fish I caught was a 8 1/2 pound LMB. I was just 1 of those right time, right place scenarios..

    Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit czcams.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

    Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, czcams.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.

    @andrewmagee8868 Před 3 lety +6

    Poppers are the only top water I will throw on fluoro. The reason being is the fluoro does sink, so when I go to pop it, it get pulled under a little big and gives me a bit deeper pop

  • @Dutch9604
    @Dutch9604 Před rokem +2

    The farther out your popper is from the boat the more chance of a bigger bass that will hit it. That's why I pop it, and feed more line out before popping again.

    • @JuanCarlinRuiz
      @JuanCarlinRuiz Před 4 lety +3

      A right handed spin cast is Left hand retrieve. A right handed bait caster is right hand retrieve. So he is still right handed. I personally use a left hand retrieve baitcaster even though im right handed.

    Anybody looking for a couple simple tips to great bass fishing. Go early. Being on the water at sunrise is prime fishing. Wait for a cooler evening stretch into mornings. 60’s in the morning for 2 or 3 days then hitting the lake or pond and you will catch more fish than you know what to do with. I live in north/mid mo and it’s august right now. 545 to 745 8 am is prime top water right now.

    I appreciate the video ! This has nothing against you but I wish in fishing there wasn’t such a thing about catching little or tinier fishes. A fish is a fish and I’m happy with a pound less than a pound , tiny blue gills , I do it for my mental health so a catch is a catch and I don’t do it for show. I just do it for myself.

    i learned heaps.
    bought my first poppers like one week ago, took it down to the lake, had no idea how to work it!
    i cast into the middle of the lake and let it sit for a couple of seconds, then i pulled two thre times and " WHOOOSSHHH!! " a big beautiful pike striked at it twice " but i made the mistake of counter pulling, so i did not catch it. but hey! it was my first time trying to use a popper and it was the first cast, so i'm optimistic about using poppers in the future :)
    after watching this video i really wanna step up my game!

  • @sie11pervan
    @sie11pervan Před rokem

    The fluoro only matters when your popper *barely* floats. If it has a lot of buoyancy you can use fluoro no problem. When you pull it hard then it'll even dip down a bit making a slightly bigger pop.

  • @dwighthuth1171
    @dwighthuth1171 Před 2 lety

    If the ten inch bass or pushing the smaller fish close to the shore, then the larger bass will be further away from the shore waiting for the 5 to 10" bass to feed on.
    A big bass, 14 to 18 inches, will never feed on minnows or shad that the ten inch and smaller bass are feeding on.
    Bigger fish need to feed on larger fish to maintain their energy levels. For a 14" bass to chase around minnows that the bass uses more energy to chase compared to going after slowly and bigger baits is not efficient.
