I've caught fish in Moriches and Shinney inlets on every color bucktail imaginable. The last year I fished Moriches regularly, the hot color was purple, with a red trailer. Lime green had its moments. I remember a couple of times I wrecked fish in Montauk on lime green. Yellow used to be hot in June when the blowfish came in.
My really secret weapon for Moriches was an Upperman head, tho. Plenty of times I was outfishing guys 3-4 fish to 1 when I was using an Upperman and they went with the SB. I would never let anyone help me by landing a fish--I'd hand them the rod and climb down to unhook it myself
