Last Saturday morning I started fishing top water and I cought a few nice 3-4 pounders using a Devil's Horse. Also have a Dying flutterer which is basicly the same thing that works good also. They are stick baits with props on both ends. I tried using a jitterbug but was almost attacked by a three foot gator! Seems like a jitterbug is good bait for gators, so word to the wise, dont use one if your near gators!

After the sun comes up good, go with deep running cranks baits along drop offs. Or Carolina rig the biggest worms you can find.
