Post by SteeleKnight »

Im here in the Corpus Christi area and was wondering what brand/colors of saltwater Lures are best for this time of year for Redfish and Trout? Thanks

I've had my best luck with a Gold or Silver 1/4 ounce weedless spoon (I.E. Johnson Silver Minnow) in that area. I use a ball bearing swivel to help prevent line twist.

I'm a fan of Z-man 3" minnow tail on Z-man Texas-eye jointed jighead.
You always match color to light and water clarity.
This would be overcast in turbid water.

And of course Trout Support Lure

These two for taller sun in clear water

I'm more of a back lakes reds kinda guy. This time of year I'll always have a 3" curl tail grub (pumpkin/chartreuse tail) on a 1/8 oz jig head tied on. A topwater or wake bait is handy to have. Something that has a lot of flash. I really like the Vudu shrimp both under a popping cork or without a cork.

My son trolled a Down South through Packery channel early evening and picked up a decent speck a couple of weeks ago. He also thru a tandem in glow color through the canal lights and caught a few slot sized specks and a slot red.

All fish were released.
