Wide Open Topwater Bite On A New Lake! (Subtle Changes Make The Difference)

Come along as we explore a brand new lake! The fish are blasting topwater, it's awesome! There's nothing better than getting the kids out on a clear water lake when the fish are erupting on the surface! Four different kinds of topwater and some finesse baits to boot! Its an awesome day!

Everyone loves a good topwater bite! Finding that bite on a new fishery with clear water and aggressive fish is even better! Listen to the subtle differences between the baits and why Tim was switching between them if you want to capitalize on every bite the next time you head to the lake.
