Fishing The Sea PupAfter the cast begin to retrieve the lure with short twitches of the rod making the lure swim or dance in a zig zag pattern. It may take a few casts to get your timing down on the retrieve, but the ideal and most effective retrieve will be the slowest that will allow the lure to dance, and continue to keep in contact with the lure. Many times fish will strike the lure but not get hooked. If a fish attacks the plug and you do not connect or feel the weight of the fish, stop the retrieve. Let the plug remain motionless for 10 to 15 seconds. More times that not the fish will come back and inhale the plug as it sits there stunned from the initial attack. If you do not have any success, jerk the rod one time to get the lure to zig in one direction and wait a few seconds, twitch the rod again to get the lure to zag in the other direction and wait a few seconds. The idea behind this is that if a baitfish is struggling on the surface it will oftentimes be attacked from below, however it may not be taken immediately by the predator. Its kind of like a game of cat and mouse; the fish will attack the bait and stun it only to come back and pick up the easy target a few seconds later. Imagine a baitfish being attacked from a bass from below; the bass will swat the bait with its tail to stun it. The bait will sit motionless on the surface and eventually start to try to swim away. It will swim for a few seconds and stop, swim for a few more seconds and stop until the stun has worn off, eventually trying desperately to swim away from the bass. Imitating this after a strike will produce the best results
Conditions The Sea Pup Loves: Light to moderate surf with white water are ideal conditions. Gamefish lie waiting to attack helpless baitfish in white water and top water plugs are like candy to them. The key to remember is to stay in contact with the lure. Heavy seas will be difficult to maintain contact with the lure and you may miss strikes. Unlike other surface lures, the Sea Dog will continue it's zig zag action if it goes sub subsurface from waves or the wash of the surf. It is important to continue your retrieve when this happens. Often when the lure makes a change, whether in speed or depth strikes will occur.
