| What's the coldest water temp you have had topwater action in?? I'm assuming walk the dog style baits are the most productive in cool water?? Our temps are approaching 55 degrees here in UT - last yr my first tiger on top was in 62 deg water |

| 55 is plenty warm, just have to have the other conditions "right" and fish in the top 10 feet of the water column helps- wtd is a good choice for "cool" water, especially if you have good water clarity. I'll start throwing at 49-50 in the spring and down to the mid-forties sometimes in the fall with good results. |

Location: Central Wisconsin | I know a lot of people like the Hawg Wobbler when the water is cold. But that could be more of a fall thing. It is a slow moving bait, so it makes sense. I would give it a go. |

Location: sneaking out to get on the water ;-) | Yeah hawg wabblers are good in cooler temps and you can slow the whopper ploppers way down |

Location: Racine, Wi | I know a few guys have done well on creepers early on. Personally, I throw the WTD baits right off the bat. I've caught them in water as cold as 42 degrees in the spring on them, and even down to 40 in the fall. If the water's cold early on and you get a warm front, tail rotators can be good too, but I'd personally be throwing a WTD bait early on. |

Location: Kansas City BBQ Capitol of the world | I dont have any hawg wobblers but have a wumper from ahw. Are these baits pretty much the same with the exception of the extra joint?
It's pretty much a slow rolling bait as well.
Thanks in advance. |
