What type of Lure should i be using in wavy saltwater fishing?
I have started fishing with lures, I have gone twice with them I haven’t caught anything with them 
I am not going to give up though. I used a jig, with a nuclear chicken colored plastic minnow looking thing. Where I fish its really wavy water, what type of fishing lure should I be using?
I was fishing in south texas on a pier in saltwater, also when do i know to use topwater lures, vs. jigs vs. everything else.
Have you tried throwing out any speck jigs yet? My comrades have been catching specks on double rigged speck jigs near Freeport. Chartreuse green and yellow is what they are hitting on in that area. There are lots of different colors to choose from depending on your water clarity in your area. Any bait shop or Walmart along that Tx coast carries speck jigs. I use to catch two specks at a time on those jigs when casting into a school of em. Follow the seagulls feeding on the water and cast out near em, can”t miss catching trout this way. Big saltwater spoons can also catch you some reds as well as specks this time of year. Work the spoon slowly back, bumping the bottom as your retrieving back in. Flounder will hit a slow spoon as well. The tide and waves gives the spoon great action without a fast retrieve. Unless your near an oyster reef most of the bottom along the South Tx. coast(surf) is flat and sandy. When your fishing the bays you have to worry more about the oyster reefs and hang ups. My personal favorite in the surf, between the second and third sandbars, is to use a popping cork with a live shrimp, small mullet, small croaker, or mud minnow. First choice being shrimp. If casting out past the third sandbar, then I fish the bottom with shrimp, small or cut mullet, squid, croaker, or cut up crevelle jack when I’m going for black tip. First choice at this spot is shrimp or small mullet. Tight Lines Feel free to email me for more info 40yr exp
