Topwater Bass

Got out for a quick evening session ,went to a mark
where I thought I might pick up a bass even though
the tides are a bit slack this particular mark has been fairly
reliable so far. Got there about an hour before last light
dead calm, slight west breeze exactly as i had expected
first lure weedless 7.5'' sluggo no luck same when i sized down
to a 6'' and 4'' so on with an xlayer same nothing going by this time the
sun had just dropped and the water i was fishing had shadowed
i heard a fish breaking the surface so on with my go to topwater
lure this year the pugachev cobra by ima a lure which has yet to let
me down

thanks for the pic Cian ;-)
























Out it went and a few casts later a bass absolutely exploded out of the water behind it
but missed and again and again but finally it took the lure and a few minutes later a nice little
fish of about 2lb






























back it went and i fished on for another few casts and a nice boil behind the lure but nothing
another couple of casts and another fish smashed the lure a bit of a better fish bang on 3lb






























That was it for this time a few more boils behind the lure but no takes
gotta love topwater bass
