I live on Waquoit Bay. If you are interested in keeping fish on the line, I'd fish Hedge Fence, just as you thought. Go out early in the AM and troll the rough side of the rip in 15 feet of water. I use Fast Track rebels because they allow me to troll a bit faster then usual. Try a couple different colors. The downside to the plugs is that they get smashed up pretty easily. After 10 fish or so you'll probably need to replace the lure. You'll catch 20 bluefish for every 1 bonito. Also I wouldn't go above 15 pound test for line and don't use a leader. try the line right to the plug. Good luck.
