...an old story. Back in the 70's and 80's when the moratorium was on and 36" was the minimum there were a bunch of old timers still fishing the Charlestown Breachway. This was before it became the absolute zoo it is now.
Anyway, these guys knew the rotation routine and fished bucktails the RIGHT way. They knew the structure in front and knew where to start their bounce. I learned from a couple of these guys and we were consistently taking 30 and 40# bass when there were "none" around. Same with the Canal guys. You learn the right way to fish a bucktail and you will score big time.
BTW, two of the best I ever met with jigs from the "Short Wall" in Narr. are RI Rockhound and Goosefish. Fish the Short Wall with these guys in November and you will be humbled

No boat, back in the suds.
