I posted my last TX trout trip on here back in 2019. That was basically the beginning of my speckled trout swimbaits. Since then, I’ve been at it pretty steady, sending finesse size mullets, ladyfish,baby speckled trout, pogeys and a few others to trout anglers from the East Coast to the Gulfcoast.
Finally made it back to the Texas coast with my little swimbaits along with Eric Gomez from Leviathan Rods, Dustin Nichols and Glen Martin.
A brutal front the day before we arrived had beat the Laguna Madre with 40mph winds. The first day had us fighting dirty water. But the shallow, grassy waters down there clear up in the blink of an eye and the following day had us in beautiful conditions for saltwater swimbaits! Everyone caught on Pink Pogey glides and a couple of giants were lost in the process. We still landed some bigs. What a fun place!!

Been working on this Sunfish for about a year. It’s a small offering, coming in at 1.5 oz. I’ve made 3 versions: glide, topwater and a cranker. This spring, I finally got around to using the cranker version. It’s been producing well for me after a few mods and tweaks.
I plan to release these on my Facebook page soon. “Donkey Bay Swimbaits”

Been away for a while and thought id post one of my latest baits and some fish it produced.
I made a small size glide to represent a pogey or menhaden. By default, it looks like a shad. Been my go to for trout this year but a bunch of folks have done well with it for bass.

They spawn through spring and summer . If they do, no one talks about it. LOL

It definitely is. Vicious fight in shallow water. They hit it wide open throttle.

Had a great day on swimbaits on my home waters of Delacroix Island. Landed 6 good ones on Flats Raiders and broke one off on a Speckled trout Glide.
Big fish was 25” and bit on a pink one.

That looks great! As Jordan said, the color is spot on! I also like that you made it slightly shorter belly to back than the original, should make it a little easier for the fish to wedge in their mouth!
True. And the younger fish are slimmer. This one is about 6.75-Inches.

I posted in the wrong spot. None for sale yet. Still working on these.

Started a new bait. Wanted to do something a little different . I’m going for a Warmouth/ goggle eye perch. We get these in LA in lots of color patterns. I started with a lime/brown pattern that I really like.

I had some trouble. Tried breaking it in two parts.
I guess I can try again.
