I've been gaining interest in bucktails the last few years, and started fishing them from boat with great results. I definitely plan on using them more in the surf, and have been seeking info on doing so. Thanks for the post.

...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

Thank you for a great read. I think I will pull out Doc Muller’s book for a re-read. If you like fishing bucktails, you can't go wrong w/this book. Muller has it down to a science, varying the weight, amount of hair and size of pork to every imaginable weather/structure
combination. The way he describes how to picture the bottom and the bucktails relationship through a fish’s eye.
Fishing the bucktail jig requires total concentration and deliberate actions to be successful. I find that I am most relaxed and in my own zone when doing this type of bottom work. I fish the jig best when I am alone in my boat or on the beach with a good distance away from my neighbor.
I need to go fishing real bad!
