Off the top...

I don't do much surface fishing in my local area so to arrive at a new spot and get hit on the first cast.......then the second......third and so on up to about a dozen, with most hits resulting in landed fish, was a summer treat. The lure that worked in the flat calm clear water was the Smith Zipsea Pop 08 (Clear) until I'd bent the weak trebles straight too often and switched lures, by which time the action had slowed down.
