Depends on current where you are fishing. I was at a spot last week that the current is BRUTAL on high moon tides.

Keep in mind that the water on high tide can be much, much higher depending where you are fishing.

With higher currents speeds and higher water, I will generally throw something that will dig a little deeper. Bucktail and rubber shads are always on the list. That is normally just a start. It, as always, depends on where the fish are holding. If they aren't deep or lower mid then I work my way up to the top of the water column.

For the stormy seas/rough water I try to throw anything that will hold or just stick with bucktails or heavy shads if you can't get the plug dug in. This also depends on which way the current is moving and also wind direction.
