I always throw topwater. Clear spook jr. is my favorite also like the red head rapala skitter v. I use to make topwater lures and I did alot of research on colors. Thing I came up with is on topwaters color doesnt matter, it's the speed of retrieve, sound, and size of the lure. The different colors are to catch the fisherman not the fish. Just my 2 cents.
Nice old Grumman canoe behind you. Guessing it's a least 50-60 years old. My family has the 1st built (1947). Still solid/great fishing boat. Outdoors in Michigan whole time.
Great vid! What do you think about the old school Rapala Minnow? It’s my go to when I’m in the salt marshes here in South Louisiana. I jut picked up a red head white spook Jr because of this vid. Can’t wait to try it out.
I don't have any experience with the old school Rapala Minnow actually but I'll be sure to pick one up! In what situations do you throw it? And I think you'll like the spook Jr. they usually provide a lot of blowups!
TIDES FISHING I use it when I’m fishing close to grass in the marshes. The reds that are up close trying to get those smaller blue crabs in the grass will lead off and destroy the Rapala minnow. I believe it’s name is the “Floating Minnow.” It’s like a .30-30 rifle, old school but never fails.
@Moses Kang it’s a 5 1/4” long one that’s a 1/4oz in silver. It’ll walk the dog about a foot under water and if you stop every few seconds it pops back up. It says it’ll go 4’ deep, but I fish it just below the surface. Trim the lip a bit, but I kept it’s shape so as not to throw the action to much to one side and mess it up. But it moves like a wounded shad and the big Specks eat em up. But if I’m throwing straight top water only for the blow ups, it’s gonna be a Skitterwalk or a Mirrorlure Shedog.
Do you even topwater?
sometimes for bass at a local pond- I also live in NY, so there are fewer fish that will take a popper or topwater than there are in Florida.

Wow that's awesome! We use it in the rivers down here every now and then. It's definitely a fun little boat.

@Moses Kang Its a jerk bait. Its called “Original Floating Minnow” It’s the shit! Speckled trout go crazy for it when you walk the dog with it.
