Lt., in your fishing experiences what have you found to be the most consistent and productive baits/lures, each , for Specks, White Trout and Redfish?
Thanks, Lt.

Chartreuse plastics. Not my favorite, but most consistently productive around here by far. Move 50 miles east or west along the coast and things change.

I think the list of fish chartreuse plastics won't catch is a hell of a lot shorter than the list it will!
I recall chartreuse and sparkly pumpkinseed colored plastic shrimp being the go to for specks from the pan handle down around the big bend. That was 30+ years ago though.

How about the Vodoo Shrimp, Lt.? Have you used that with any success? With the Bull Reds I’ve had fair luck with breaking a crab in half and fishing that under a popping cork and using a gold spoon with a trailer of different plastics. What is your favorite beyond the chartreuse plastics?

Copper colored popper and a gold spoon both produce good results on all three species. Black Drum too.

I love shrimp for live.
My favorite for specks is a top water popper with the rear treble removed and a 18" leader attached which has a jig and plastic attached. You get to cover the top and subsurface at the same time.

I’ll have to try those, Roger. For larger Specks in the surf around Grand Isle and The Chandeleurs the mirror lure and the old Mr. Champ seems to work. Smaller Specks tend to go for the shad rigs. The Vodoo shrimp has mixed results but mainly on the smaller side.

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

4" Z-Man Sexy mullet on a 1/8 oz jig head under a popping cork is deadly on the targeted species in the Pamlico Sound.

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.

Yeah, I fish between Florida and Mississippi.  My go to for the species you mentioned is a small treble hook, 8-10# mono with live shrimp, finger mullet or croaker, in that order. No corks, swivels, weights, leaders, kitchen sinks, etc. It's a no go in Fla. with the treble and live bait though.
