Top water in January!

Post by bman »

I hit a farm pond near Havana this morning with my dad.
A good friend has access to this place and we only get to go when he calls- But when he calls WE GO!
We caught over 50 bass between 9am and 12 noon. Dad fished a worm but I caught most of them on topwater- A Tiny Torpedo and a Bagley prop bait.

None of them were huge but it was fun

I know it has been warm but I'm still shocked that i had over 30 fish on Topwater in January
What a great morning on the water with my Dad!

Yup, wevans fishes that topwater year round. And I fish that texas rig year round. They'll both catch fish. I will admit the topwater is more exciting. But I don't mind stickin um with a worm. Just ask Wevans. :wink:

Glad ya had a good morning with your dad. :thumbup:
