We have had some fantastic blues biting on the South shore of LI this week. They are hitting rubber shads, bucktails, and in the last few days it seems they mostly want plugs. On Sat and Sunday I lost 3 gibbs poppers to these demons.
They are so violent they are also ripping the hooks off too.
What do you guys suggest when they are here so thick and the best bite is on plugs? Wire leader? I am now out $48 because of my losses just this weekend alone.
