Any suggestions.

I'd say the DOA shrimp. Go with the glow-in-the-dark color, or the natural color with the gold glitter inside. DOA is #1 in my opinion because you can leave itin the strike zone for a long time andconvince them to eat it with a real erradic action. GULP! are good too.

whatI always do is first before picking out a lure istry to find out what the trout are feeding on and match the hatch from there. last night I started with a gummy minnow on my 8 wt. fly rod cause I could see the trout feeding heavily on what appeared to be small minnows. I got a few bites and caught a few fish but not the results I expected. I pulled my kayak closer to the light and realized it wasn't glass minnows but tiny crabs they were eating. Luckily I brought 2 different crab patterns with me and first cast caught a 4lb. speck followed by several smaller ones and 2 redfish. Match the hatch for best results.

Glass minnows and sardines---Yo-zuri crystal vibe or Yo-zuri pins minnow 2 3/4 in. in green back, blue back or white/red head

Mullet---rapala skitter walk, zoom super fluke, yo-zuri crystal minnow

pinfish,croakers---Rat-L-Trap, 52MR mirrolure, rapala shad rap

I could go on and on but these are a few of my go to baits

When using that DOA are yall using that with a popping cork working it on the bottom.

Popping cork for me...also, try working a top lure (cigar shaped - white in color)through the dock lights for some exciting actionfrom the larger specks.

free-lined... slow retrieve, throw it out, let it sink 4-5 seconds, pop it once, let it sink... repeat.

1/8th oz. works best IMHO... maybe 1/4th oz if it's windy.
