How deep of water?


Where ever I fish them. It seems I'm mostly in the 4-12 foot depths. If you've ever used live bait behind a popping cork you'll get lots of hits at the cork, which is why I like to use a plug. I'll generally start with live and then when I find a bunch I'll switch to the plug and jig.

I love it when they hit top


Yep.
Once you find them and get on them in the marsh the Specks will hit about anything that you throw at them.

There’s a fairly dedicated group of kayakers that hang around Fourchon that are strictly fly rod and top water. They use some high $ stuff.

The degree of my privacy is no business of yours.
