Equipment Used:
- Rod: 7’6 Slot Machine Custom Rod
- Reel: 2500 Shimano Stradic FL
- Line: 10lb PowerPro
- Leader: 20lb Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon Leader
- Lure: Skinny Lipper
- Hook: 3/0 Hoss Helix Hook 1/8 oz.
The Skinny Lipper is a 4-inch hard-body jerk bait lure that also behaves like a topwater lure when worked a certain way.
It typically runs about 6-12 inches below the surface so it is a floating lure that covers the upper water column.
Especially if the topwater bite slows down, this lure excels in the shallows.
And if you’re tired of losing lures to pufferfish or pinfish, you won’t run into that issue with the Skinny Lipper!
On this particular day, I made a last-minute post inviting Insider Members that could make it to do some fishing.
We hit the water at about 6:30 am and I immediately started to see signs of life.
Topwater would be a good start but I chose to lead off with the Skinny Lipper because of the cooler temperatures on this morning.
I tossed it out at a school of redfish and instantly hooked into a solid redfish to start the day.
I went and followed the school to throw another cast.
A few cranks in and I was hooked up again!
I was working the lure similarly to a topwater retrieve so it stayed subsurface but darted back and forth.
As you catch redfish from a school, it is always a smart idea to keep an eye on the school.
You can continue to follow it and pluck off fish.
The Skinny Lipper crushed it and performed well on my first trip out with it.
But if I wasn’t in an area with actively feeding fish, I probably would’ve smelled the skunk.

Will this work in the surf? We get big reds & stripers in the surf at Assateague Island, MD.
For sure! We use it in the surf down in Florida for snook and it works great. If the surf is very rough and choppy it can be a little tough, but if you have clean troughs between waves that will be more ideal.
You definitely found the fish and established some confidence in the new lure. Still waiting on mine to be delivered. Looked like all the fish you caught were on the front hook. You hook any on the back hook? Any misses?
Didn’t have any missed strikes. The fish that hit were fully committed to it. Some fish were hooked on both hooks. Just happened to come undone when netting them.
Great video Tony!! I had a question on when would you use the Moonwalker versus the Skinny Lipper? Nice slam
Thanks Pablo! It can be used just about any time which is the nice thing about it. It can replace a topwater for early morning if you find the fish are short striking or not committing to a topwater such as the moonwalker.
What kind of boat are you fishing from in this video? Thanks.
