The top water bait I've had the best luck with is a frog (spro/ scum frog type and zoom horny toad) and have caught them on them from daylight to dark but that is the particular lake I fish mostly and may not work everywhere. At certain times of the year I'll throw a big walking bait like a 6th sense crush dogma and have also had really good success with it and for whatever reason the hotter and calmer it was the better it seemed to work. Here recently I've also started experimenting around with buzzbaits by putting a white zoom horny toad on them and have been getting bites. I took some old booyah buzz baits with the clacker that the skirts had rotted off of and put a drop of super glue on the bait keeper and just thread the frog up on it and it will not go anywhere.
