– From the California Sportsman Mag’s post
Under the right conditions, bass will eat a topwater throughout the year, but for many, the arrival of spring signals the first topwater action of the year. Now is a great time to fish a surface lure. Bass will be in some stage of the spawn and they will be shallow and hungry.
There are plenty of great topwater lures on the market today. From floating minnows to buzzbaits to prop baits, chances are I probably have them somewhere in my tackle box. But day in and day out, I have found that a popper and a walking bait will handle the majority of spring topwater opportunities that I encounter.
