    Need Lure advice

    Hows everyone doing? I'm about to go get some fishing supplies, so I need advice on which lures to pick out. I usually fish of San Luis Pass and sometimes the Surfside Jetties and whenever I go I mostly use dead/live bait most of time. My friends that I go with have been using Yo-zuri lures and have been catching speckled trout and other fish with them.

    My question is, which Yo-zuri lure should I be looking into for Speckled trout? My friends used the 3d crystal minnows and the 3d fingerling. Also which colors work best?

    I've also been looking into the Rapala X-rap slashbait, anyone use these either and what about those Texas Trout Killer II lures?

    Thx

    I can’t really give you much feedback on the hard bait, the only hard bait I chunk is a thunder stick and shedogs, now for the soft bait I may be able to help. I toss a tandem speck rig with a roach( hogie with a lime tail) and limetrusse (bass assassin)comb. Work very well for me in the surf and in the lights , I just started using a flutter hook.

    I hope this helps..
    Peace

    oh what a question

    I gave this alot of thought before posting and almost decided not to say anything. Eighteen years ago when I started fishing Trinity Bay, I caught the majority of everything on a plumb and white shrimptail. I used a plain leadhead jig with no color but the lead color it came with out of the package. I caught more than my share of fish this way too. The thing is, now I have more than one tackle box full of all the colors and flavors that the tackle companies offer. If you know of something that works, use it. The main thing is to find something that you have alot of confidence in and throw it as if you expect to catch something on every cast. I have gone back to the plumb and white shrimptail along with chartreuse sand eel and solid white. You will find your favorites soon but you will continue to buy more and more just like the rest of us. That's why Academy stays soooo busy.

    I like the TTK plastics because they survive many a vicious hit from a speck and don't tear up as easy. The Gulp shrimp are stinky and $$. A little over 5 bucks for a pack of 5. Go with the DOA or try the new Bass Assassin shrimp cocktail. You can use them with jighead or under a popping cork. I'm gonna test 'em out at Keith Lake this friday to see what works best.
