Dang Schoolie Monster!! Perhaps your most insightfull and informative post ever!!! Seriously, I agree with most everything you've said there but I want to add a few things... First - nobody said match the hatch, probably an almost abused saying but it does come into play ...
In some of the clearest waters I've seen from shore: Scortons (at least when I've been there), Various places in Naragansett, WW, Osterville - the FW perl Queen was tops. No doubts. Infact - usually nothing came close. Now it wasn't compare side to side to GS's jerkbait (which I'm personally impressed with) but that's life.
Now, going against this thread - some things just plain work in some places that don't work in others. Not only will you get some wierd stares throwwing a hot pink needlefish on some Scituate Beach, you might not get a fish but some Rhody spots, a hot pink needle fish is DEADLY...
What does this mean? S-M & GS's fresh water rule book translates largely intact into the saltwater, Soft plastics, whether clear, perl, or chartreuse are killer, some places love odd plugs or lures for not apparent reason, and did I mention, eels are the best overall nite time bass slayer...
