"Surface Fishing"

Surface fishing refers to targeting fish that swim near the surface of the water, often within the top few feet. This method uses specialized lures, such as surface poppers, plugs, or flies, designed to mimic insects or small prey that fish feed on at the surface. Anglers often cast these lures and retrieve them in a way that creates splashes or commotion, attracting predatory fish like bass, pike, or tarpon. Surface fishing is popular for its excitement and the visual aspect of watching fish strike on the surface, making it both an effective and engaging technique.
