What are some of the best lures or things to CAST in the surf? Not really looking at cut bait and tight line.

[Snowflake Killa]

Hard to beat mr52 lures or a gold spoon the end

I usually use soft plastics in dark colors and sometimes a topwater early. Occasionally a large silver spoon.

Gulp shrimp on a jighead under a popping cork will get you bit.

Color or colors??

Color or colors??

New penny, or the natural looking one. I haven't really noticed a huge difference. If the fish are there, they're there.

Thanks keep info coming. Trying to learn and will try it out in a couple of weeks.

I throw a bone topwater at sun up and a 5" pearl or white soft plastic paddle tail soon there after. (Any brand will work becouse fish don't care)

Always the bone topwater at sun up for me. Skitterwalk or supersoook if choppy and if calm I’ll go down a size.
Spoons and MR mentioned above are great too

I always skip the topwater bite, I like to use big plastics. Down South Super Model in plum/treuse or 5" Hogie in plum/treuse.

Rootbeer Cocahoe minnow has caught a lot of Reds and Specks for me - and a few flounder too

I’ve always had great luck with mirrorlures. Take sinking, suspending and floaters so you cover all the columns the fish might be feeding in.

Don't overthink it. Any of the main soft plastics. A spoon is great too.

[Quackerbox]

If I get there soon enough I'll throw a topwater until I can see. Usually from less than knee deep water, then plastics. The last time I went down I fished in the headlights/light bars for about 20 mins it was so dark

[Muddy Bud]

This right here. Casting directly into the wind working quickly with rod tip up.
