Hi all:
I have to say that the trusty ole' bucktail is my most consistent producer all year. I don't want to start an argument on the issue of color, but white is the only color I've ever used. I vary color with the tail I use with them. I have every color ever made, I think, but all the ones that aren't white are in my cellar--the only ones in my take-along are white.
Today, my son and I took eight keepers off the 50-foot bottom off the coast of Ct. and we both used bucktails bounced off the bottom. and Yes, we lost a few--those lobster pots' lines are unforgiving as hell!!
BTW, as a Rhode Islander, it broke my heart that the one non-keeper that I caught and HAD to throw back (we didn't keep any of the keepers either) was a 37-incher, that was as bright and fat as any fish I've seen this year. It was a sea lice hotel, but it was a beautiful fish nonetheless. That top throw-back slot is a killer in Ct.
