Cubsfan. I'm sorry. You know it's gonna be another 108 years, right? I grew up a cubs fan, then Leo Durocher
ripped out my heart in 1969 and it took me about 10 years to recover to the point that I could even go to the park and enjoy a brew.
Trout? Them speckledy things you Floridians mistakenly call trout? Or trout?

I don't care about baseball after the Astro's cheating caper. Let's get back to fishing. I expect you are at the top with your Heddon top water. That works great in Galveston bays. Just sayin...RJS

In Destin, you are fishing clear water most of the time and that is probably why the bone color works so well. In Alabama and Louisiana, the yellow (banana color) and pink work well too. Probably because our inshore waters consists mostly of drainage (spring runoff) from a bay and are often times murky and/or chocolate in color. I fish the Grand Bateaur flats off of Mississippi a lot and the go to color seems to be the hot pink.
Also, a lot of locals swear by the mullet color (silverfish-gray and black) but I have had no success with it.

MrJw, thanks for your input . I will study the water and play with the colors you suggested. After top water I usually throw soft baits . Yesterday I tried a pumpkin seed green yamato sinking worm . They killed it ! Lost a lot of fish and worms , but the action was constant.

I know we are talking about speckled trout, but in addition to what we have already discussed, there are a lot of redfish in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana and they love that bright yellow banana color. It seems to be the bait of choice for top-water when targeting redfish.
