**Topwater lures for mid-fall bass — quick picks to get you bites** 🐟

- **Poppers (cupped-mouth topwaters)** — create loud pops and splashes that draw bass from cover. Great for edges and weedlines on calm mornings.

Pro tips for mid-fall fishing:
- **Time of day** matters: dawn and dusk are prime; overcast days can be strong too. Short, sharp pops followed by a slow sink-and-pauses often trigger strikes after a few seconds of hesitation.
- **Water conditions** influence color and cadence. In clearer water, go natural/pick subtle colors; in stained water, flare with brighter foils and louder pops.
- **Structure to target:** weedlines, lily pads, docks, fallen trees, and creek channels. Cast tight to cover and work the lure past the edge, then pull cleanly away to avoid snags.
- **Line and gear**: a 12–20 lb fluorocarbon or hybrid braid-to-fluoro combo helps you feel the bite and improves hookset on topwater.

If you want, I can tailor a short 2–3 lure rotation for your lake and the current water clarity. Tight lines and loud takes this season! 🎣
