when tiny bait is in, what lure?

I can't recall blues ever being finicky to the point where fine graduations in size matter. I'd go with a 1oz. Kastmaster or Hopkins.

Blues can be highly selective. About ten or so years ago, fishing out at Sandy Hook, we had blues at night. The problem was they were feeding on small shrimp. About size 4 or 6. Along with light tippet. I know, it doesn't sound like much, but when its the only game going, its what you go with.
Go figure, blues at night, size and shape selective. Feeding like trout in a stream

Early evening yesterday I ended up on a point with blues outside the rocks slurping and acres of bass inside closer to the rocks slurping. Couldn't tell what they were feeding on, but it was almost too small to see, maybe young squiddy's. I switched to a 6" ledge runner weightless and worked it agressively on top, caught until I had to stop.
