Topmouth Fishing Method
Prime Time Tactics for Topmouth Culter
1. Dawn Assault (04:00-08:00)
Target shallow flats (≤0.6m) with poppers: Create explosive splashes with 2-second pauses between jerks
Prime spots: Wind-blown shores, submerged timber zones, drop-off edges
2. Midday Deep Hunt (11:00-14:00)
Slow-retrieve 40-80g metal VIBs along channels: Lift-drop rhythm at 30cm increments
Key locations: Reservoir slopes >3m depth, riverbed trenches
3. Night Raid (19:00-23:00)
Glow minnows under bridges: Steady retrieve with 5-second bursts to mimic fleeing baitfish
Critical upgrade: 30lb braid + fluorocarbon leader against razor teeth

Pro Techniques
1. Full-Lead Floating
- Slide weight to float base, extend leader to 20"
- Slow-sinking bait triggers mid-water strikes
2. Structure Combat
- Drop-off edges: Suspend lures 1m above bottom
- Timber zones: Side-cast to avoid snags, retrieve ≤1.6ft/s
3. Trophy Fight Protocol
- Rod tip DOWN immediately after hookset
- Set drag at 70% max, apply figure-8 maneuvering
Critical Don'ts
- Shallow flats at noon: Culter move to >3m depths (activity ↓60%)
- Force surface-jumping fish: 85% escape rate from lip tears
- Magic chum: Crushed grain + fishmeal + 10% krill powder, replenish 7oz/hour
