a guy in a shop around here reccommended to me the following lures for
surf fishing:

1) Nemire Red Ripper Lure (silver color)
2) Nemire Spoon Buzzer Sr 5/8 ounce lure

Any opinions on these two?

Thanks!

Someone local would probably know more than I; I have used the Nemire,
they look great.

Never caught anything on them and they have a premium price.

There are similar lures cheaper I think. It is surprising how many bass
lures are showing up in sal****er. I have used some of the big bladed
spinner type lures and caught nice redfish.

Would probably not hurt to buy one and try it.

I noted you also have a kayak; you should definitely look at using that
in the intercoastal. I am not familiar specifically with that area but
there should be some spots that fish target bait on tide flows.

I went out with a kayak guide up (down for me) in Jacksonville/St.
Augustine to get some ideas of what I was doing wrong (could always
catch fish in Tampa flats). I had used some of the right techniques and
even hit some spots correctly but when we went it was a much lower tide
than I had expected. What was a large, grass spotted area was a maze of
small creeks when we fished it. Where the 'creeks' joined typcially were
deeper holes that held fish. Also, where there as a point and a fast
current reds were hanging out for bait to be washed through.
