I just tried out the lure at 6:39 at night and caught my biggest speckled trout ever on top water thanks for the tip texas redfish hunter

[@saltwatertexan7459]

My grandfather used to tell me that if you ain't learning you're probably getting dumber. So, that's a yes on the new technique video.

[@RedfishHunter]

lol

[@nategonzalez84]

i would get so much from you showing your technique on top water retrieval . thumbs up !!!!

[@joeanthony9162]

Hey man, appreciate the tips on topwater lires. I myself have several and prefer the she dog. Can't wait for your next vids...Tight lines never stop!

[@vamostexasfishing]

funny how we have the same favorite soft plastic and topwater. I grew up throwing top dogs and bass assassins so it's kindof a nostalgic thing

[@madlifts1]

[@rubenmercado4661]

been waiting for a video like this thumbs up drew

[@PMtz-co6wo]

Thanks for sharing your experience and advice. Keep up the awesome work!! Any videos on a beginner rod and reel for red fish and trout fishing?

[@micalryman9025]

yeah brother I appreciate the information I hooked up on this she dog and the she dog pup 23 inch spec and a 24 inch spec and I did hook up oh a red but I lost him had a bunch of blows up. The lure knocked out of the water one time I sure do like these lures appreciate it brother and you are right about that rhythm it worked out for me I'm fixing to go get into a tournament hopefully I'll place I'll give you heads up on it preciate it and keep on fishing kayak style

[@TheBMurph43]

Top water retrieve video is a go!

[@timjohnson7419]

Killer videos , thanks for all the great information!

[@joselara3290]

Thanks a lot for the video preciate all the information and your experience love your video keep on doing more videos man appreciate it

[@junderhillmac]

Love top water. This was great info, thanks!

[@2guysyakin196]

Great video as usual. Thanks for all your efforts.

[@JustAddWaterfishing]

Good advice, thanks for sharing!

[@Flguy34698]

Good video and yes I would to see a b video how you retrieve your top water while in a seated postion.

[@pedrogonzales4669]

I'd like to see your top water retrieval techniques

[@MichaelMartinez-zy7ob]

thanks for the tips drew

[@ehdz9365]

Top water retrieve video please I have never been successful with top water. Thanks

[@IntrepidFisherman]

Great work.. Isn't it funny how a black topwater at night is best?? haha... I can't say I know of a lure that comes with decent hooks. At least not the ones I buy. I almost always change out the hooks after the first use (usually on new style lures I like to see if they are even worth the change out before i do it). Thanks for the detailed info.

[@stxoutdooradventures2907]

Can you do a retrieval video on this top water for kayaks I would really appreciate it thanks

[@bze06fishinbwai63]

Great Tips and Vid Bro!!!! Thanks

[@paulcast9205]

I would like to see the retrieve video..

[@gholdsfishing3144]

can you do a vid on the retrieval for submerging top waters? like the paul brown trolling lures, and other submerging top waters

[@nataliehonc5597]

thanks for the tips. I think you should go wave fishing for bull reds

[@davidserna4533]

yes retrieval video. that would help alot

[@ccerda12]

good video. thought we would hear some talk on the whopper plopper. the retrieve would be nice to see.

[@RedfishHunter]

haven't used the whopper plopper enough to have an opinion on it yet

[@southernoutdoors9326]

really loving your chanel man

[@VirantRoss]

If you have a snap swivel at end of your mainline can you hook it directly onto your lure for quick exchanges to find the best option?

[@jamesphillip4759]

Love that reel! I just bought one

[@tommycastillo2524]

Great Tips Bro...

[@nataliehonc5597]

good catch!!!!! on the canoo.!!!!!!!!!

[@Sn-tk8rq]

What brand hooks, size are you using to replace the old ones with?

[@valentinmata8297]

Video on top water lures retrieving.

[@fernandog.3366]

Will u make a video of how you retrieve topwater lures while wade fishing? I have trouble with my top water getting tangled, and its a tough retrieve while wade fishing. Please help.. thanks

[@MrBigfella420]

let's see that retrieve bruh! Especially from the yak

[@capt.toddwalkersonofafish7206]

Awesome video

[@pedrogonzales4669]

Do you have better luck with topwater lures at certain part of the year versus another

[@evanwhite1552]

Hey, I'm new to your channel but I see that your near the Corpus area. Do you ever fish Lighthouse Lakes Trails? I fish that area fairly often, or basically anywhere near the Aransas channel. It'd be cool to meet up with ya sometime, I'm a kayaker as well!

[@RedfishHunter]

I fish all along the Texas coast, mostly Galveston and sometimes down in Corpus area as well. I don't fish the lighthouse lakes very often, but I know at times the fishing can be decent there. Maybe I'll run into you sometime, if you ever see me come say whats up!

[@carahkab]

Just wondering what size trebles you replace the SheDog hooks with. TIA!

[@douglasnelms3114]

Great video. Do you have a designated rod and reel for every type of lure you throw? Example-top water, spinner, jig, pop & cork etc...

[@RedfishHunter]

Kind of, yeah. I have particular rods that I throw particular lures on to maximize action, cast distance, accuracy, etc.

[@douglasnelms3114]

Texas Redfish Hunter thanks for the reply.

[@danwilliams4189]

Yeah Buddy- Please show yur technique.

[@jimbeauxjimenez1850]

Thx Drew. I've heard about casting dark colors at nite but I still don't understand how that could be effective when it is totally dark. Wouldn't the noise/action still be the factor of catching fish in the darkness?

[@RedfishHunter]

Yeah, noise and action is exactly what they are hitting. At night baits look dark, so its more just for matching the hatch then anything.

[@wildernessman2022]

Thought you said you were going to do a recap

[@ChrisGagnonDIY]

do you recommend a time of year or time of day to us top water?

[@RedfishHunter]

Spring through fall, early morning, late afternoon or night, or cloudy overcast days

[@southalabamamanagment6838]

What replacement hooks do you like for the Top Dog?

[@robmartin1343]

Please make video on how to retrieving these

[@jonathanpham8823]

When trying to figure out what the fish want, how long do you stick to a lure before switching to a different lure? Thank you

[@Cause023]

I was just about to ask this same question. Did you happen to find out the answer?

[@eddieserna5494]

Drew ..other than the difference in pitch frequencies what is the difference between the top dog, she dog and she pup?..

[@RedfishHunter]

size, those go big to small

[@eddieserna5494]

Texas Redfish Hunter thanks man..this is going to be my first weekend trying topwater and I will be on a kayak lol..(wish me luck) What do you think about the she pups?..and do you have any recommendation on weather conditions for the she pups or does it really matter?

[@biglesthomas1837]

great info. just one thing i do think the color matters during the bright of the day. imo. other than that great job and keep up the great work. tight lines

[@RedfishHunter]

Zoffinger painted one bright red and caught fish. I've never just changed color and caught fish when one color wasn't working. Just from all my personal experience I don't believe it matters. But again that's just my opinion and my experience

[@BagwellFishing]

Love Topwater

[@andywarga9226]

Please do a retrieval video!

[@bobgill4069]

What hooks do you like to replace the orginal ones with?

[@lelandvanwagoner3317]

On your leader line, do you loop knot straight to the lure or a quick release adapter? Would it make a difference?

[@RedfishHunter]

If you use a quick clip you wouldn't need to loop knot it, but I don't personally recommend them, and I never use them

[@renerodriguez9926]

did you ever make a video on retrieval

[@marcospineda232]

make a how to retrieve the baits video thanks

[@wagnersantana_]

nice lures!

[@fr33dombeard21]

At what point do you decide it's too windy/choppy to use a topwater on an overcast day?

[@allyssautecht2302]

hey I'm pretty late to the video but I have important question. if you have or if you could do you know to the tactical pro angler clips for changing your lure fast, is that okay to use for topwater walking the dog

[@RedfishHunter]

I don't really like those things, and have seen many fail causing lost lures and fish. Some people swear by them and love them, and in theory the ability to quickly change lures is awesome. It's just not for me, I much prefer to tie a loop knot.

[@allyssautecht2302]

@@RedfishHunter thanks, since its starting out I'm going to use them because I wont have the normal Fishermans gauge on what to use, I was just wondering if the make the topwater sink to much

[@marcusthelegend713]

so i fish from shore, could i still be successful using soft plastics and top water baits fishing from the bank?

[@RedfishHunter]

if you're in the right spot yeah

[@lapu7217]

How do you attach the liter to the main line?

[@richardhernandez791]

What do you do with your she dogs when they lose all of their paint.

[@RedfishHunter]

Keep throwing them! Bone base still works

[@jonathan1613]

Does Cora have her own channel?

[@pariscruz5715]

have you had any luck with yo- zuri glass minnows 3d

[@bigfan1364]

Paris Cruz badass lure, I catch big speckled trout and red drum on em’

[@TheBenbeyer]

Do you ever use Corkys and if so do you use the same rod/reel setup?

[@RedfishHunter]

yeah in the winter, I like a 6'8 medium light fast tip

[@TheBenbeyer]

Are you using the lighter soft-dines with that rod or the heavier original ones too?

[@jeremiahcox8181]

Don’t do fluoro. Just keep it straight braid. If you use a fluoro leader it’s going to drag the nose of the bait down

[@andy2314]

how about a top water popper ?

[@RedfishHunter]

walking baits work much better in my opinion

[@TheAssaultScar]

I honestly dont think florocarbon matters

[@RedfishHunter]

It keeps the bait from getting tangled in the braid constantly which is a pain, but you don't have to use it to be successful

[@TheAssaultScar]

Texas Redfish Hunter ohh i got you lol im a mono guy

[@cartergrowl7400]

I like the heddon that looks like a whopper plopper at night

[@carlosgarza4993]

Hi

[@darealest7136]

topwater retreive vid bruh

[@adanvjr]

I get strikes on my top waters.....just no commitments...... :/

[@RedfishHunter]

they should hook themselves. Change your hooks

[@johns6481]

Flouro sinks and will not be good for your action on top waters. You should be using a mono leader or just stay with braid.

[@RedfishHunter]

can't tie a loop knot with braid. and only 18" of line doesn't make the line sink. I like flouro for its strength.
