Top water worm fishing....

I ended up catching about 30 fish over the course of that day and the
next, by fishing that little worm in the bushes, then reeling it away
from the cover as fast as I could. If I didn't diddle it around in the
middle of the sparse cover first, I didn't get bit. And If I didn't wind
it as fast as I could on the way back, I didn't get bit. Every, single
hit came within a foot of the high speed worm breaking the surface.

Rich, that was my experience also....had to let the worm make that
intial drop, and twitch it a little....then reel it up almost to the
surface, and a fast twitching retrieve. Like you, I caught most of them
on the first part of the fast retrieve.

It's still working !
