Best inshore slash bait = Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow. Use an aggressive hard snapping motion with your wrist to make it dive, then pause and hang on. They make a floating and sinking version, so I switch up depending on water depth. It is literally my go-to, never-fails lure.
One thing about purchasing lures from the Store, each lure has a "How To Use' video attached to them, AND what kind of knots to use to attach them to your lines for casting. May not sound important to experienced lure fishermen.Ladies, but to knew commers of using lures, such videos are priceless. Thanks for another informative video again 👍
Chub bug is decent, but a 1 or 2 knocker spook ie better. The chug bug takes wayyyyyy to long to cover water. It’s probably my #1 hated lure . Just go out with a Slugo, a ned rig setup and a suspending x rap. White and Natural. A Shimano Waxwing is probably the best top water bait ever made for tarpon
But the Chug Bug will call them in from deeper water. Trout go nuts for it, snook and tarpon too. The Spook will cover water faster but if you are in a known good spot break out the Bug.
In late winter and early spring the topwater bite is often a slow paced retrieve, that’s why I use the Chug Bug and Prop bait. But you’re right, once that water warms up, I go to a walker lure until it cools backs down in late fall. I’ve been meaning to check out the Waxwing thanks for the suggestion!
@@ely410they actually make beefed up versions specifically for Bull reds. They work amazingly well. Even Chatterbaits and Rattle Traps work with inshore fish.
Pat-what is that platform you’re fishing on in this video? Looks like a sup with an outboard motor? Please send the details and how you have it configured. Thanks in advance. Stan L Panama City, FL
I can see where it can be a little misleading. The idea was that you don’t have to carry so much tackle with you in order to be covered in the spring, just a few lures can get the job done. Appreciate the feedback and I’ll keep that in mind for future videos!
The current can get swift, especially during new and full moons. Combine that with wind heading in the same direction as the current, it can get fast. The strongest current will be during the middle of the tide, the first third and last third will be slower. Lots of oysters close to the grass lines so something to look out for. For new kayakers I suggest starting at the the bottom third of the tide, fish through slack and the first of the incoming. This way you’ll miss the strongest part of the current and not get overwhelmed. The order can be reversed just as long as you’re not on the water during the middle parts of the tide. Once you get experience, you can try other parts of the tide.
Dude, that redfish painting is awesome 👌 great video as always
Appreciate that!!
Thanks for the tip😊
No problem! Glad you liked it!

The slash bait is an often overlooked lure. When worked properly they are killer! Thanks for the suggestion!

Great call!! Little things like that do make difference
Thanks for the tips
Glad you liked it!
Y’all should sell this with the tackle box.
That’s a great idea!

There’s a lot of Bass fishing lures that can carry over to Saltwater. I’ve seen quite few people catch Trout on a Spinner.
I caught a big snook on a spinner bait and the guys is Louisiana use them for reds all the time.
@@johnmoore3504 that’s wild, I bet the wire on it was straitened out after catching snook haha

Does this stuff work for California fishing
It will work anywhere. Your inshore species all over the world will eat baitfish and shrimp. Wherever those are present, these baits will work.

It’s an SUP Customs micro skiff set up. It has a 6 horse Suzuki in back and a trolling motor on the front. Pretty cool set up.

What hooks are you replacing the treble hooks with?
Have you guys fished around salt creek in Savannah
Never Salt Creek but I’ve been around Butterbean and Thunderbolt
So I’ve never kayaked in the marsh. What are some dangers to look out for? Is it really similar to the freshwater rivers
