Brought 18 home to fillet last trip out with a friend, all on 3/4oz Kalin Ulimate jigs tipped with my 4" split tails, drifting a reef that tops out in 35 feet off Cutty (Goose knows where
), but that was close to the top of the tide. Black Sea bass love jigs, bucktail work great, I have an olive head bucktail with red/black bucktail in 4oz that kills them in a deeper hump off the Vineyard, that tends to have faster water and requires a heavier head. You can catch them with fluke rigs and squid, but frankly I've never had that method out fish jigs, so why bother.
