The Billy Bay Halo Shrimp is by far the best lure I've ever used for Trout and the most underrated company there is in saltwater fishing products. The foil inside the shrimp is a game changer. Great video.
For anyone in the future looking for vouches I vouch for the Berkley gulp but they are expensive I think like $10 I recommend the shrimp the most of you get them. For any other soft plastic down south lures work pretty good, and big bite soft plastics too, the shrimp to be specific I use the white and chartreuse or plum and chartreuse
I’ve been fishing for a couple of years and thought about the trout eye being so short compared to my swimbait. Makes me wonder how many fish I’ve missed out on
Any advice on leaders material, What lb test ? fluorocarbon? Etc? I fish New England water and will be in FL this winter. We usually use 20 to 50 lb mono, but I’m guessing that’s overkill? Thx!
Help, please clarify. I watch your videos and learn a lot but there seems to be a contradiction in your taste of lures. in another video you were fishing and praising the white gulp mullet with red jighead, but in this video your favorite is the zman diesel minnow z?
The gulp is good for scent and cold as well as flounder, and the z man diesel minnow z is durable and works better in the summer. Basically they are both good but at different times

Thanks for the info. As a first timer, I didn't understand any of the terminology people were telling me. You answered a dozen questions I had.
Dude this was a REALLY GOOD video!! Thanks for keeping terms simple and expanding on what you were saying! 👍🏻
Love this, you guys have got some great fishing over there
Awesome instructional video with some great tips. I can't wait to get my kayak in the water and try these.

That was a lot of good info. Thank you.

You use the Red Fish Eye jig on the Z man 4" & 5 " minnows.
thank you
Would I be able to use a 3.5” to 4.0” inch minnow? I don’t have very many jig heads and only have a uder spin jig
What size swim bait was that croaker?
Thanks for the tips
Ok I’m new to saltwater fishing I usually only go bass fishing, but can I use a baitcaster to catch specks in saltwater?
Yes just make sure whatever reel you use, baitcaster or spinning, gets rinsed thoroughly with fresh water after use in the salt.

For Florida you want to be fishing 10-20 pound braid with about three feet of 20-30 pound leader.
Love that XXL Mirrodine year around 👍 in SE La. marshes

Good point. I remember seeing that video!

The Rapala topwater you held up was not a "Spook Jr." The Spook Jr. is a Heddon bait from Pradco. The Rapala you held up is called the Skitter V.
Billy Bay Halo Shad is my #1 winter bait. Extremely user friendly with a simple slow role retrieve. This is in no way a finesse lure...
Can you add links to all lures
What time of the year are speckled trout really biting in Florida?
Always, but I find that the big girls come out the most in the winter.
You left out the MirrOdine mini
Skitter V
What is the real name for a speckled trout?
It’s a spotted sea trout
