While both above Lucky Craft baits are notoriously good - what condiions dictate which one you will choose to throw ?

I like s stiff breeze for the gunfish, and calmer for the Sammy.

• I agree with the above post in regards to when I usually choose a topwater lure, however they make a few sizes of both the Gunfish and Sammy and offer so many good colors that you can throw either one in almost all situations and have success depending on what the fish are feeding on and activity level...The gunfish walks really well.

From what I can find it appears the Gunfish is best if there is a breeze / ripple on the surface while the Sammy is perhaps better for calmer conditions .

Perhaps on any given day the opposite is true - but at least a place to start ...

This ^^^^^ !!! If you have a ripple on the surface you will want to use the gunfish, calm is where the Sammy does the damage.

I like a little chop anytime i throw topwater

Ive had good success with both in many conditions. I do like the gunfish better in a moderate or heavier chop though
