If the weather is ok I am thinking about taking my boat the "Fishanator" out this sunday. I keep hearing about CT with grubs. Also I have heard some people tell me that gold spoons work pretty well. I was going to try some gold spoons, CT with Shrimp/Grub, and some topwater lures. What is the best Grub for out there that you have found?

I would suggest the following colors to start with:
1. White/Pearl/Glow etc.
2. Electric Chicken
3. Candy Corn
4. Bone Diamond
5. Rootbeer or some other dark color.

After that you can pick up the other 50-60 colors that a lot of us have.
My favorite brand and model is the Saltwater Assassin, Sea Shad.

Try pearl with a pink tail, white with a pink tail, chartruce, or anything with green in it.

Good luck.

Chartreuse is the only color I use

Salt Water Assassins are great.....

Actually Mojo..I have about every color locally available from Salt Water Assassin.....On any given day they might bite one color or the next, that's why I have so many...but white/red, something green, white/green would be in my stable.....

The rootbeer gold glitter color is alsoa great choice. DOA makes a shrimp that I highly recommend.

Have plenty of green, green, and green just in case the conditions change.

DOA shrimp in either green or day glow. Most days I never change from it since it works most of the time for me.

Pitching jigs (all of the above) on a slow drift. If you find a hotspot anchor down, and put a pinfish inder a bobber behind the boat, and pitch jigs everwhere else.

My number one choice is 1/4 oz DOA shrimp in "niteglo" pattern. I fish it much like I would a plastic worm. I rarely use a cork of any kind.

I recommend considering the Strike King 3X jigs. Last time out I caught 20+ trout on one Jig. Pinfish can't bite the tail off and all fish seem to love them. I also caught 14 Snook on the same gig a month later in SW fl. Finally had to change to a new one when a blow fish cut the tail short. They now come in a good variety of colors too.

Strike King plastics are great but they sure do stink. The assasins get the tail bit off too often.
I the sure catch white w/red tail.
