Topwater
Im new to the site and fairly new to saltwater fishing.. What are some of the best topwater baits for trout and redfishing around Golden Meadow/Leeville/Grande Isle area without breaking the bank? and where is the best place to get them?
Any advice or help is appreciated.. Thanks |
Academy. Spook jr's, & rapala skitter walks are pretty good in white, bone, black with chartreuse head, hot chartreuse, pink just to name a few. I'm sure more will chime in soon.

Spook Jrs and Skitterwalks and baby Skitterwalks. They only 2 topwaters you will ever need. SuperSpooks for bigger fish. Clown Color ,Pink&chrome ,Bone,and black and chart for spooks jrs. Bone/chart and Gold Mullet are my favorite skitters.

Either the super or spook jr model bone color is hard to beat. I find it to be the most versatile color for most conditions.

When the fish strikes do not pull the bait away from them, wait until you feel the fish on before you set the steel to him. They will often slap at the bait multiple times in one retrieve before committing. Fish will most likely be found in 3-4 ft water unless any drastic changes in weather for the next 2-3 weeks.

On a trout I really dont "set" the hook with a tw. I just kinda lift the pole and start reeling
|
Black/chart and bone colored she dogs have been doing pretty good lately here in Grand Isle.
|
Bone n chrome is my favorite top to throw.

If the fish does not take lure after ......3 seconds, lift your rod tip up just enough to "twitch" the bait a little. Moving the bait a little will often trigger a strike. If nothing happens after another few seconds.....repeat. |
No need to set the hook when fishin topwaters. "Reel 'til ya feel". Honestly, does color really matter on a topwater lure? :rolleyes: :shaking:

The difference is called "presentation". |
Probably 95% color doesn't matter, but sometimes I have seen it make a difference
