Late Summer Top Water Bite

Aug 15
2 min read


The morning mist is still hovering over the river when you make that first cast. Your topwater bug settles right along the grassy bank, a textbook placement. For a second, everything is still. Then, the water explodes. Your bug vanishes into a wall of spray, and suddenly your rod is doubled over as a 20-inch trophy bass peels line off your reel.

That heart stopping, surface shattering, adrenaline flowing strike is what topwater fishing is all about. Welcome to top water season!


At Smitty’s Outdoors Adventures, we live for these exact moments. There is no rush in freshwater angling that quite matches watching a giant smallmouth engulf a topwater top water bug.


What to Expect on a Smitty’s Guided Float

You don't have to worry about managing the boat, reading the currents, or guessing where the fish are holding. We handle the oars and position you for higher odds of catching a big bass.


Coaching in the Heat of the Battle

When a massive bass hits, the adrenaline spikes. We keep you calm, talk you through the fight, and give you real time guidance to keep the line tight and the hook set solid.


Victory High Fives & Release

Once the fight is won, we net your trophy, capture crisp photo memories, and safely release the fish to fight another day right after we celebrate your brand new personal best.


Catching a citation sized bass on a topwater bug isn't just another day on the river; it fundamentally changes how you look at fishing forever.


Ready to experience topwater action at its absolute finest? The season is short, the mornings are perfect, and the big bass are looking up.


Book your trip today with Smitty’s Outdoors Adventures, and let's go chase your next personal best!
