...just joking, seriously.
I tried that one in the marsh in Apalachicola this spring. Was successful, but didn't like the fact that a couple of reds hammered it so hard it went deep into their throat and was hard to retrieve with the weedless apparatus. Luckily they were slot fish that went into the cooler. I was worried about killing a small or large fish with this method. Was thinking about taking the hook off at the split ring and using a jig head instead without the weedless guards. I never got around to trying that but switched to a Redfish Magic and was tearing up the trout and the red fish. They still hit it hard and sometimes hook themselves behind my eyeball but was much easier to retrieve from the fish's mouth and is still very weedless. Doesn't even pick up the floating grass.

Cut bait or dead shrimp under a popping cork or on bottom. Second choice is gold spoon.

My go to at any given time is a gold Little Cleo with red trebles, but have found when the bulls are feeding anything mentioned above works well.

Does a spoon count as a lure? For me, a spoon with a little red feather on the end is pretty deadly on oyster bars.

Oysters like them a lot, too!

I like the Johnson Silver Minnow lure in gold for bayside, live pinfish drifting the passes and cut mullet or large fresh dead shrimp in the surf.
