Thread: Favorite Lure for Surf?

What is your favorite lure for the surf in mid to late May?

Silver spoon. I don't go to the beach without them. In all different sizes.

Silver Cotton Cordell, 3/4oz. With a 6" 20lb single strand leader or the blues will take it away from you.....quickly.

If it's summer time I'm making sure I have a bubble rig. The Spanish and lady fish are a blast on light tackle with them.

What time of year are you throwing this. I've tried in the past with a spoon with very little success. Could have been the presentation or just a bad day to fish. Love chunking a spoon for the distance and water you can cover.

Topwater plug: pink Skitterwalk before the sun comes up ;-)

A white jig, perhaps 2 smaller ones in tandem. A favorite pattern pre-tied is a 3/4 oz butterbean with a 1/8 spearhead teaser above.

Make the loop about 5" and use a teaser with the hair trimmed just behind the hook.

Hard to beat the original white Looney Jig, designed by Mr. Looney years ago.
