You're very kind to those other anglers, John ... nice of you to share your tackle. I'd love to cast an olive over white deceiver (with short trace of single strand wire) to those fish that were following your fish almost to the sand. I've caught tons of albies on fly down in NC, but there is nothing like a robust bluefish. My favorite.

Yes. It's heat-fused, not braided. A little thicker than braid, and very trouble free. It's what I had my kids use when they were 10 years old and no knots. It's great if you don't mind it being a little thicker.

As I explained in the narration, a larger profile plug would have worked great, but I wanted to use one single hook with a crushed barb to make it easier on the fish and me. The rod was already rigged with exactly that (a bucktail) when the fish rolled in.

Ok, tackle question. You're throwing a white bucktail. Do white bucktails imitate bunker? Why not a swimming SP minnow or something in the grey, blue, green color? I love your videos and I'm starting to learn the power of bucktails. TBH, I'm tired of buying expensive plugs and losing them to bad knots or bad casting technique (working on that). Why the white? is white just an all around awesome color?
@JohnSkinnerFishing 4 жыл бұрын
I think the bucktail looks like a lot of things, but a nice bulky one does have a bunker profile. For that Northeast fishery, white never seems to be a bad color.
