The Gunfish is part of the next generation of top water baits from Lucky Craft. This bait borrows features from other Lucky Craft top water lures and merges them into a totally new and exciting breakthrough in top water fishing. Different from the Sammy, this bait is slimmer and walks wider than it's predecessor. It also has a distinctive cupped face for maximum spitting action. The Gunfish also features special tungsten resin tail weight system for maximum casting distance even in the wind. The Gunfish incorporates a unique sound chamber that makes a loud knocking noise to call fish out of deep water. As with all Lucky Craft baits the Gunfish comes standard with razor sharp Diaichii hooks, amazing color choices, and Lucky Crafts "Lucky oval ring" which guarantees consistent and reliable action.
According to Casey Ashley, the Gunfish is everything an angler could want in a topwater lure.
“The Gunfish is the Sammy and a couple other topwater baits all wrapped into one,” Ashley said. “It doesn’t have a deep sound and it’s not sporadic. It’s noisier than a regular Sammy. It chugs along on the top and spits a little, too, because of the cupped face. I love this bait.”
Late April and early May are prime times for the Gunfish in North Carolina and South Carolina, and according to Ashley, it resembles a blue back herring, the main forage on Clarks Hill Reservoir in Georgia.
“My prime day, no matter what lake I’m on, for the Gunfish is a bright sunny day,” Ashley said. “Clouds and sun don’t really affect the Gunfish bite. It is good to have clouds because the bass can’t see you, but that’s why I prefer a 15-20 MPH wind. Then the fish can’t see me at all, but they can definitely see the lure.”
Ashley likes a fast reel and a short rod when fishing the Gunfish.
“I like to work it fast, so I use a 6-foot, 6-inch rod so I don’t work myself to death,” Ashley explained. “If you have a bigger rod, you’re going to wear yourself out. You want the rod tip to do all the work. And I always use braided line. With monofilament, you have a 50 percent chance of hooking the fish because of the stretch. You have no leverage. With braid, your odds are much better.”
