Location: Davenport, IA | Generally in October as its getting cold I have good luck trolling in 12 feet of water, or dragging suckers and throwing a glider that will work 5' down. So saturday I did that all day with no luck other than one rip trolling in 18 feet of water with a DDD. It was getting late so I figured I might as well throw a topwater, nothing else worked. Right before it got dark I caught a fish on a 9" doc throwing in an area that went from 10 to 18 feet. I've never had that happen before. The water temp was 53 degrees and it was 5 minutes from being pitch black outside. It was nice to catch a fish on a topwater after missing at least 20 in my life. (never hooked one on topwater)
Anyone here throw topwater in the fall? |

| The day the season closes, that's when it no longer becomes an option. Had them eat a surface bait in 38 degree water temps. |

Location: oswego, il | We had a fish swirl on a weagle sunday. I wasn't throwing it, my partner was. I couldn't throw it because all I could throw was a bucktail since my bucktail reel was the only reel that was not FROZEN! |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | I throw them opener to close, no wrong time to use topwater. I have taken fish in water less than 40 a few times when nothing else would work. I find when you get a really warm day late in the season this a highly under utilized presentation. |
