    My go to is the mullet pattern.  Followed by the red head and peanut bunker.  But, I think I’ve fished every one of them with success in the Gulf.

    They make an inshore topwater popper that is loads of fun, too.  I think it weighs in at 7/8 ounce, so it’ll cast a mile.

    Kind of like your kastmasters, anything with some silver flash is great.  I love a blue/silver combo like the mullet pattern.  

    I’ve taken to fishing those lures on an 8-foot fast, medium weight rod.  My surf gear used to be way over rigged - but of late, I’ve been going the other way.  A ladyfish on a lightweight rod feels like you’ve hooked into a tarpon.  

    The Ladyfish are a good fight, they tend to throw anything heavy out of their mouth fighting. The bubble straw rigs work best on them because the hook and rubber piece really present little mass to toss.

    Pompano have been good recently.  Spanish Mackrel have been hitting fast lures off the beach, too.  

    I’ve switched almost entirely to Yo-Zuri 3D  Inshore lures.  I like that they’re a little heavier, so they cast longer in the wind, and they seem to last about three times as long as an equivalent Rapala.

    This one is my secret weapon:  

    https://www.amazon.com/Yo-Zuri-Inshore-Twitchbait-Sinking-Crankbait/dp/B079ZBQYJ4?th=1&psc=1

    It’ll catch everything in the Gulf. It’s good for reds, and pompano, and Spanish Mackerel.  It’s also good for my kids’ preference - the trash can grand slam - consisting of a whiting, a ladyfish, and a bluefish all caught in the same day. 

    Which size and color works best of those?

  4. Getting ready to head down there and do some fishing myself. Always on the beach by 5:30 AM with some meat soaking about 60 yards out on the big pole and throwing spoons while I watch it. Prob won’t charter this year but a friend is bringing his boat to do some inshore.
