Topwater fishing is one of the most exciting ways to catch bass. Anglers can see a bass follow, strike, and sometimes explode on a lure at the water’s surface.

Our topwater bass fishing instruction teaches anglers when, where, and how to fish surface lures effectively.

Topwater fishing topics may include:

Topwater fishing conditions vary by season, weather, water temperature, vegetation, and bass activity. Lessons help anglers understand when a topwater presentation is likely to be productive and when another bass fishing technique may work better.

Bass respond differently depending on water conditions, available forage, weather, season, and fishing pressure. Our bass fishing lessons help anglers understand how lure selection and presentation work together.

Instruction may cover:

✔ Topwater lures
✔ Soft plastic worms
✔ Texas rigs
✔ Wacky rigs
✔ Carolina rigs
✔ Spinnerbaits

✔ Crankbaits
✔ Jerkbaits
✔ Swimbaits
✔ Jigs
✔ Frogs
✔ Finesse fishing techniques

Participants learn how to select lures based on water clarity, depth, vegetation, structure, weather, and bass activity.

Lessons may cover:

✔ Identifying shoreline cover and structure
✔ Casting parallel to the bank
✔ Fishing points, pockets, grass, and shade
