Topwater Fun On The Upper End

[rps]

Fished from around 4:30 until dark today. The first two hours were spent looking for walleyes. I had an email that said they were on flats in 10 to 13 feet of water. They may be there, but I couldn't find them.

Around 6:30 I pulled into Leatherwood. I tied on a new to me bait, the Norman Top Dollar. When I found it at Wally World, I noticed the label said you could/should walk the dog with it even though it looks like a splasher.

Yes you can walk it, if not as easily as a spook. Yes it splashes as you do so. It throws well too.

Caught 19 largemouth, mostly small. Did have one squeaker keeper and three more respectable keepers in the 2 to 3 pound range. I had maybe 10 to 12 blowups that did not hook up. I call that a fun evening.
