"Go to bait"

[Fishmaster]

Well I was curious, what was y'all go to bait for red fish, NOT DEAD SHRIMP. I'm talking about plastics here. I will be fishing the New Orleans Big Bass City Park Redo this Saturday, and I was wondering what should I try first thing in the morning? Also to say you have to bank fish because it's one of those canals that run threw the city(Bayou St.John). Right now I have tied on is those new TTF lures that I got today, what would you suggest ?





P.S I know this is manly a west side crowd, but is any one else fishing this rodeo?
