When fish are feeding on top it doesnt matter what topwater lure you are using. It's the sound and commotion the lure makes that attracts the bite on top. I carry about 3 different types of baits in my inshore box and I'm confident in all of them. When you have confidence in a lure you will fish it harder and your bait presentation will be better. You will never see my tackle box filled with 30 different types of baits. Fish are not picky when they are hungry. Its a matter of being in the right place when the fish are feeding. Knowing the tides that the fish feed on, and past history of a place are alot more important than the lure choice.</P><P>Brant Peacher</P><P>Tackle RepSun, 25 May 2008 11:23:58 GMTBrant Peacherhttp://pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic111366-14-1.aspxskitterwalk all the waySat, 24 May 2008 17:01:30 GMTtailfisherhttp://pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic111366-14-1.aspxBest bait for snook and trout around Fort Meyers was always a Sammy Pointer in either clown or white and chartruese. I am sure it will work up in Pensacola area.Tue, 13 May 2008 19:33:43 GMTminkmasterhttp://pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic111366-14-1.aspxSmall Chug Bug, saltwater series, dark green top color.

I have been trout fishing since 1975 and those baits have produced some of the largest trout that I have ever caught. It's a little tougher hookup, but they can produce..... </P><P>I honestly think it's the "right place right time" and presentation theory. Years ago I had an old trout fisherman tell me he would take a lightly weighted hook and wrap a small piece of white cloth on it (he described about 4 inches), frey the ends real good and cast in in a strong current and nail some 6 + pounders..... But then again, he was a fisherman and I never saw it happen, LOLOLOL....

My buddy had good luck, see the thread "REDFISH on the flats". I think the popper works really well for redfish because there is a pause between "pops". That is when I have usually seen a redfish hit a topwater, when its just sitting there.Tue, 13 May 2008 08:32:28 GMTPaleRedhttp://pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic111366-14-1.aspxthanks ive been mainly throwing gulp but have tried mirro lure topdog couple strikes at topdog but still hungryMon, 12 May 2008 21:10:28 GMTfishn4funhttp://pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic111366-14-1.aspxRapala skitterwalkMon, 12 May 2008 21:01:34 GMTPrivate Pilothttp://pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic111366-14-1.aspxim just begining to get in to trout and red fishing just wondering what are some good versatile top water baitsMon, 12 May 2008 14:18:48 GMTfishn4fun
