EQUIPMENT USED:
- Lure 1: Moonwalker
- Lure 2: Mulligan rigged on Hoss Helix 3/0 1/8th oz
- Rod: Slot Machine – 7’6″ Medium Power
- Reel: Prototype
- Line: 10 lb J-Braid 8 Grand

- Scent: Dr. Juice Inshore Slam Scent
We started off throwing topwater lures.
Now through the end of winter is an excellent time for topwater action early in the morning or later in the evening.
Once the sun came up and we started casting shadows out on the water, I switched to a subsurface lure.
I went with the F.R.E.D. Mulligan on a Hoss Helix Hook to remain weedless.
After reeling in a solid redfish on the F.R.E.D. color, I changed over to the Gold Digger to see how that would do.
Color didn’t matter much on this trip as George hooked into a redfish on the Slam Shady and later the Gold Digger got the job done as well.
During this time of the year, redfish are schooling up all over the flats.
A quick way to double up on redfish is to cast directly behind a fish your buddy has already hooked into.
There could always be a few fish following closely behind.
Sure enough, I threw my lure behind George’s fish and hooked up!
Shortly, after we had to call it a day.
Fall Lures
If you like throwing artificial lures, fall is the best time to get tight lines in my opinion.
Topwater lures are extremely fun and always useful before the sun comes up.
Then we switched over to subsurface paddletails once the sun got higher in the sky.
Topwater into paddletails is my favorite approach for the fall.
