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!

I liked it so much, I bought the company
That's a pile of CLEANING ta do I never switch from my topwater during the year "just ask Tin Can" I just sslloowwww down the presentation and watch close "they tend to just suck it down, not attack it" but on warm Winter days, they will slap it all over the surface

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.
You never can tell when it might work, with all of these warm days the water temp. is rising...just last week I was catching nice bass swimming a paddle tail over grass on lake seminole!
