I managed to get my first 2 bass on a topwater today. I got there at 7, caught 1 on a chatterbait first, then 2 on a topwater then 2 on a spinnerbait and called it quits around 12.
When I got there there was a little wind and overcast. I got some blowups in a little cove that was a bit more sheltered from the wind. I did notice however that as soon as the wind stopped around 9:30 or so, and the sun started to shine a bit brighter through the clouds the bite became extremely tough. I threw dropshot, plastics, spinnerbaits, chatter baits, jigs.
Nothing, and the fish were active on the top, I would see them break occasionally on schools of shad, but I couldn't get them to bite. Is this a thing that happens this time of the year? the last 2 weeks had been really good to me at this lake with dropshot, plastics, and spinnerbaits.
the lake has no visible structure from shore, just some scattered brush, points, rockpiles and drop offs that I've found in the last month since I started fishing it, so a lot of my casts are into open water. Any tips for what to do if a bite shuts suddenly like that?
