Fall is definitely here in Eastern Iowa, the first "frost warning" has been issued for tomorrow morning. I absolutely love this time of year, topwater bass, smallmouth start to group up, and of course ice fishing is within sight. The only sad thing about this time of year is that the topwater rods and boxes will be put off to the side shortly. There is still time...that is for sure, but the days are numbers. This time of year my favorite topwater has to be the IMA Lures Little Stik. This walking/spitting bait is fantastic as the water cools. You can work it erratically or slow it way down, enticing the most lethargic bass this time of year. It has a smaller "brother" too, the Baby Stik which measures 4.1 inches, which works great for smallmouth and more finicky bass as the water cools. Rig this bait on a 7'2" Quantum SmokeX Rod/Reel combo and you have yourself one BIG BASS catching machine.
Get out there...topwater time will soon be gone!
