Well winter fishing is in full swing, which is a bit like fishing in a bathtub knowing full well it contains no fish. There have been 25 perfect topwater days since my last post and I fished every one. We have had quite a few days above 50 and even 60 today. Global warming does have some upside. Alas, the topwater gods have not blessed me. The total for the 25 days was 2 stripers and one yellow perch. All caught on small Kastmaster. Tonights catch of a massive 12 incher was important for several reasons...1. It was my first January Striper ever. 2. It gives me hope that TW could still work in winter.
