Brandon Sor - I fish Fork quite a bit. I live right here on the lake. I have the best luck with topwaters in late evenings in the summer months. My lure of choice is always a chartreuse and red Skipjack, which unfortunately, is no longer made. I bought a case of them back in the 80's because I have had, and continue to have such great luck with them. Cast near or next to cover, let the rings from where it lands ripple out until you can't see them any more. Usually about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Pop the lure one time in about a 6 movement. Any nearby fish will be watching it at this point. Do another 3-4 pop or slow reel and chances are you'll get a strike. Calm smooth water is easier and best to fish topwaters. It's basically a matter of making your lure appear to be a natural bait, triggering an instinct strike from the bass. If you're fishing from a boat, try to position yourself to where you can cast parallel to the bank in about 4-6' of water. That way you can cover more of the strike zone.

I did not see him mishandle a fish at any point in the video. Lakeforkguy is actually very professional in the way he handles fish, setting them back in the water and reviving them before letting them go. Minimal time out of the water, he knows what hes doing.

Hey Lakeforkguy. I was really wondering what is a good shallow running crankbait rod? Or a crankbait rod in general? I'm confused on which brand and action to buy. Like Medium or Medium Heavy. Just don't know. Any feed back would be perfect!

Hey justin, I was just wondering when is the best time to use a topwater? I have never caught a bass on topwater and would really like to experience the excitement of the strike. Maybe a tips video or some pointers? Thanks

mainemadelurez The line and rod are the most important on top water. I use 15lb mono(LFT powersilk) and a 7 foot medium action rod(Dobyns 704 CB) on most mid sized top water baits
