So I'm fishing the Vineyard on the light, not the tide, as recommended, and sure enough, at the prescribed time the birds go nuts all around me. The fish follow and now I'm up to my chest with tails flapping everywhere (the one two feet from me gave me a slight laundry problem). I've got a white jumping minnow on, no interest. Throw a needle, nothing. 10 other guys are frantically changing plugs and flys while the frenzy goes on. I quick change to a squid sluggo, catch a nice fish and then it's over. What's your failsafe, last ditch, middle-of-a-frenzy plug?
