Topwater fishing involves using lures that float on the water or move above the surface. The attraction is to attract the attention of predatory fish and experience spectacular attacks on the surface. It is a game between the angler and the fish, where both demonstrate their skills and instincts.
There are several types of topwater lures that can be used for this technique, the most popular of which include poppers, walkers, stickbaits and propeller baits. Poppers are lures that are made to hit the water's surface with a tug of the fishing rod, creating a loud splash. Walkers are lures that glide across the water with a back-and-forth motion, also known as a "walk-the-dog" run, while stickbaits look like small fish and can be guided by light tugs. Propeller baits have spinning propellers that create splashes and noise when retrieved.
The key to success in topwater fishing is in the presentation of the bait. The angler must learn to present the bait in a way that attracts the predatory fish and entices them to bite. It takes skill, sensitivity and good observation to recognize the fish's reactions to the bait and react accordingly.
When a predatory fish snaps at the surface and attacks the bait, it is an unforgettable moment full of adrenaline. The fish can strike with great force and make the bait jump out of the water in a spectacular manner. It is a spectacle that makes anglers' hearts beat faster and takes the thrill of fishing to a new level.
Topwater fishing is particularly suitable for predatory fish such as pike, asp, chub, perch, trout and even the impressive catfish. The best conditions for this technique are calm water, morning and evening hours or cloudy days. Predatory fish are actively searching for food on the water surface at these moments and are receptive to the tempting movements and sounds of topwater baits.
