I got out a few days this week, both morning and afternoon trips. The topwater bass have been hit or miss for me but you can get a few on the surface if you make a few casts. The stripers are hitting the surface and if you're in the right place at the right time you can catch a few. This week we caught fish in as little as 3 feet of water to catching them over a 40-50 bottom with the topwater. Schools of stripers are drifting and surfacing out on the main lake and near the creek mouths and I've caught a few running and gunning this week. I've been using bone walking baits and the popper. One day they want walking baits and the next day they want the popper. I've been catching both stripers and bass on the popper this week and there have been a few stripers cruising the points and shallow areas. Surface temp was 77 when I trailered today. Here's a video from an afternoon run yesterday and a pic of my biggest this morning.
