need lure suggestions for trolling

[steve101]

Guys, I need some help. I just traded in my flats boat and finally have a boat that I can run out and try to get into sailfish and dolphin and ? down around the Fort Pierce to Stuart, FL area this spring. Trouble is, I've never done it and have no idea what kind of lures to get for trolling. I do have a downrigger and I'm going to get a kite fishing rig eventually. Can you give me some suggestions..make, model and color? I'm finding out these things are just too expensive to buy without knowing which ones to go for..
Thanks

lures:
sea witches, trackers (tournament tackle), sea stars (tournament tackle), and islanders (tournament tackle), tuna tails and tuna clones, lil stubbies (C&H), aliens (C&H), plastic squids for daisy chains (Boone)
colors:
blue/white, red/back, green/blue, yellow/green, yellow/blue, crystal, green/black, purple/black

if you're worried about cost, just stick with sea witches, tuna clones, and tuna tails. they catch pretty much everything and they're fairly durable.

Sorry to hear you gave up your flats boat. I'm in the process of moving my Shamrock back to Seattle and I'm gonna be buying a Hewes down here sometime this Summer.

To answer your question. I'm using feathers, instead of plastics. I like the way they work better. Always have. http://www.williamsonl.com/feather.html

Y&R and Hawksnets,,Thanks much for your replies. I got called out of town and haven't had a chance to acknowledge your help but I've got the catalogs out now and it's a lot easier to make sense of all these options. I'll let you know how I do on the water!
