The Cuttyhunk Popper, in Squid Pink and Yellow, properly worked, is a go to for day or night, if there are any squid around.
Bonnie, The Hostess with the mostest, should stick to hostessing, cause the Blue and White is a pass off for a Pogie or other bait fish.
Again, it isn't so much the color as the way the plug is worked.

We growed up on Cuttyhunk at the same time so I can say that and you are correct, she be a great hostess.

The guys that fished skin plugs used the eelskins with the blue side out and rigged the skin short to look like a herring or pogie.
If you want to fish for big fish, rig a big bait. Take a big plug, like a Goo Goo Eye swimmer, drill it end to end to give a water supply to the eel skin, rig the skin full length, dark side out and drag that through your favorite spot, night or day. Be prepared. Don't worry about a tail hook cause the big fish will hit the bait by the head!!!!

We proved that one night. Took over fifty fish over 20 pounds, all on the front hook of an eelskin rig. We used one rig with a tail hook and caught all small on the tail hook rig and all over 20 on the front hook rig.

Note to John R. I am trying to remember but I think I posted about
rigging eels one time a few years back. Maybe you can check your Archives. If you can't find it I will write it again.
