Topwater Plug for fishing in Bahamas

My 24 yr old daughter has asked me to make a plug to give to some friends who are living on their 30 foot catamaran sailboat in the Bahamas. They fish for Amberjack and other local fish. What would be a good topwater plug and color for this area.

She is visiting them for the long New Year's weekend so she calls me today and wants the plug now... LOL.

Can't go wrong with the old red/white standby

60 % of the time, it works every time.

Chris, I gave OD Mike a Jigsmith spook to copy. It's a small plug, but it casts great and catches fish like you wouldn't believe. Have him give you a copy that he made and copy the copy. Last season, it became one of my favorite top water plugs.

Fishbones... great I look forward to fishing the jigsmith and making it with my soon to be acquired Duplicator... I am getting a longer Vega one because I build a lot of furniture

Numby- My dad built that bench about 25 yrs ago and it rocks... i have a set of wood and another set of metal dogs and 2 sweet vices built into the bench. Its a heavy sucker too

I sending these two plugs for their Amberjack fishing... I bet the popper will get some strikes and the sinking needle will allow them to fish deeper for these Amberjacks
