Don't Miss The Best Topwater Bite Of The Year! (Late Summer Topwater Tricks)

These 3 tricks will help you catch topwater fish throughout the Late Summer and early Fall! It's easy to overlook this opportunity and most anglers will, but if you know how to adapt your topwater baits this can be the best bite window of the year!

For most anglers, the best topwater of the year has already passed. Now they're focusing their attention on slower presentations. Don't fall into that trap! If you know how to adapt your topwaters (straight retrieve baits, downsized frogs, and micro topwater) you can break into some incredible late season fishing!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment Matt discussed in the videos. We've included our favorite colors for the topwater baits as well as all the rod and reel combos Matt recommended. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
