With these bright, warm days my usual local lake has turned off to successful trout fishing. So after a couple hours of futility I've been headed over to the weed line to fish for the abundant bluegill and large mouth bass. It's a lot of fun and I'd like to learn a little more.
All I've been using is an intermediate line with a beadhead leech using countdown techniques. I'm seeking opinions for Bass..
My questions : does topwater techniques work very well on a hot, clear day? Are there better patterns for fishing deep than leeches.? Is it worthwhile to use weed guards?
Thanks for your help as I'm a total novice to bass fishing...
