I went up to visit fellow BFT member Tailgrabber and fish his lake with him last night. He told me he had been catching bass and crappies on a fly rod with a topwater plug (I really don't know fly terminology). Just for gits and shiggles, I brought a couple small topwater lures to try.
The rest was crazy. The attached pic is the first fish I caught on my first cast. From that point (5:30 pm) until dark, we drifted over several schools of crappies and caught them almost one right after the other, including a 13.75" and several over 12". I also caught 5 or 6 small largemouth bass and a couple of sunnies. I was just throwing a Lucky Craft Sammy (60 or 65 size) and a Lobina Rico and twitching it. Topwater in April, who'd figure?!?!?
