Hows everyone doing? I'm about to go get some fishing supplies, so I need advice on which lures to pick out. I usually fish of San Luis Pass and sometimes the Surfside Jetties and whenever I go I mostly use dead/live bait most of time. My friends that I go with have been using Yo-zuri lures and have been catching speckled trout and other fish with them.

My question is, which Yo-zuri lure should I be looking into for Speckled trout? My friends used the 3d crystal minnows and the 3d fingerling. Also which colors work best? I just recently bought a 3d crystal minnow (sinking) in a silver/black color scheme. Was that a good choice and also how good are the crystal minnows with the honey comb pattern on the back?

I've also been looking into the Rapala X-rap slashbait, anyone use these either and what about those Texas Trout Killer II lures?

Thx

The orignal texas trout killer have worked great for for me.

Yo-zuris wouldn't be my first choice but it they work...use 'em. Try a quarter ounce jig head with a 4" curly tail grub for trout. Or a "walk-the-dog" type surface plug. Mirrolures work well too.

The local tackle shops should be able to tell you what colors to use. Or, look at what slots are empty on their shelves.

yo-zuris 3d fingerlings rock under lights. Ive used them at san luis pass peir and hardely anybody was catching any trout even on live shrimp, but we were pounding them on it.
