Twitching a weightless worm just under the surface, keeping it moving
fast, is a good warm weather method here. I often run way up rivers and
creeks and do that in tournaments. Another good bait to use for this is
a Fluke - guys fishing for spots often reel it as fast as they can
skipping it across the top. You can't move a bait fast enought with a
reel to keep it away from a bass that wants it.

Shows you how much I know....I just never visualized a worm as a top
water lure. I really need to get it in my head about what you said about
fast retrieves. I know it, but it's hard for me to do. In the past when
I had "followers" with a top water lure, I always slowed the lure
down....now my kid tells me if you get a lot of follwers and no
hook-ups, you are reeling too slow!

I still got a lot to learn!

I'm not in the same class as John Jr, but I learned that a couple years
ago on a summer crank bait bite. I had to find baits I could just burn
through the water to get bit.

Just curious. Is your pond/lake pretty clear? I have run across this
more often in clear water than stained water.

Speaking of clear water. I also found that when bass were stacked up just
off a grassbed I could get a couple more bites by changing crank baits
after every couple fish. Usually just a subtle color change would do the
trick.

Also, as a side note I'll remind you that even in the hottest days of
summer you can catch some fish shallow at the right time of day around
cover. Usually dawn and dusk. If there are laydowns and weed or tulie
matts you can punch through them and catch a few also during the brightest
parts of the day.

I feel embarrassed reminding you of this stuff because I'm sure you
already know it.
