I like to top water fish; however, i have not been doing it very long and I was wondering when the best time to start is.

Around here, it's after the ice melts. They move up into the shallow bays where the water is warmer and gobble up anything they can find, including stressed fish struggling on the surface (or a top-water lure). They'll hit top-waters right through the fall feed up.
