| Just curious how you guys fared with the topwater bite this weekend. I fished a small lake in western Wisconsin this weekend and we raised 5 fish all on topwater and did not see anything on other lures. I had a fish attack my creeper and miss and I had one take my doc only to lose it about 10 ft from the boat. Was a blast seeing fish come after topwater, but unfortuneatley did not put any in the boat. Anyone else notice a topwater bite in the shallows (2-8 ft.) last weekend?
Wondering if it was just the lake or a trend throughout many lakes? Good luck to all this weekend. I will be heading out for the MN opener, not sure what lake just yet? |

Location: Pelican Lake/Three Lakes Chain | We moved a few fish on walk the dog topwaters. None of the fish actually ate the baits but a few of them tried awfully hard. Almost all of our action was on bucktails. |

Location: Seymour, WI | I was also on a small W. Wi lake, Fished for 5 hrs and finally caught a 34" on twitched shallow raider. Then switched to a Tally Wacker and within 5 mins I had a fish miss the Tally Wacker on consecutive casts.

| Didn't see anything on topwater up north, but had 2 misses on a Lee's Lure and boated a 34" on a Bride of Creepinstein on a southern Wisco lake in the PM. Steve |

Location: Tomahawk, Wi | Every thing coming on jackpots nothing on tally wacker type baits . Stuck a 39 on a jackpot opening day. What I cant figure out is why they wont even look at a bucktail  |
