a technique in sport fishing where lures or baits are worked on the water's surface to attract fish
What is "topwater fishing"?
Topwater fishing is a technique where an artificial lure is used to float on or near the surface of the water to attract fish. The fisherman casts the lure and then retrieves it in a way that makes it move or splash on the surface, mimicking the actions of prey such as insects or small fish. This method is especially exciting because fish often strike the lure aggressively as it moves on top of the water. Topwater fishing is commonly used for species like bass, pike, or trout, and it requires skill in controlling the lure's movement to draw fish in.
Examples
Topwater fishing is exciting because you can see the fish strike your lure.
Topwater fishing can be challenging but highly rewarding.
