Have various paddle types. Some that paddle real hard and some that glide real easy.

I like double rigs tight line. Single under a cork

What JB said. Check with Terry Serigny at Terry's Bait Stand and he will fix you up. Good luck.

Find a drop off.
Throw past the drop.
Let jig sink.
Drag slow.
Reel in slack.
Drag slow.
Tap tap. Start to reel and fish on.

Your welcome.

Tsunami Swim Baits have been king this winter for me. Slow steady retrieve with current.

Bunker and Purple Haze in the bends of natural bayous have produced 500 trout last 10 trips. Tip : put a touch of super glue in the slit where the lead head is and you can catch a limit on one bait...... Good luck

Do plastics only work when actively fished or can you put some on a weighted red fish rig and let it sit on the bottom? I guess I'm thinking about the Gulf plastics that supposedly have a smell to them.

Looking at that V rig from VuDu, I have wondered how a modified umbrella rig would work with cocahoes or swim baits. Anyone tried this or am I just crazy?

Right now, opening night H&H cocahoes are getting it done in GI. We killed em last week and headed back in the morning.

We also caught on VUDU under corks, any color.

Another quick question, what size jig head do y'all recommend? Or is the wind/ current going to dictate that?
