I fished the Upper Bay yesterday. It was hot for schoolies as I landed 13 fish. They were all caught on quarter oz. flathead, white, bucktail jigs spiced with plastic grub tails.The bucktail jig is a real hot lure right now and it will continue to catch fish right up until late November. When using bucktail jigs, it is imperative that you add some type of enticer to your jig's hook. Here's the way I play it. On small bucks of 1/2 oz and under, I use a 3 inch triple ripple grub tail sold by Bass Pro in a white color. For mid sized bucktail jigs of 1/2 to 1 oz., I will use 4 inch triple ripple tails. On real big bucks over 1 oz, I generally use Uncle Josh pork rind strips of 5 1/4 inches. Adding these enticers really makes a difference in the effectiveness of your bucktail jig.
