New to the Forum . Is Bucktail jig any good inshore around Rockport. If So what colors work best and weight an how cool does water get around Rockport in Jan. Feb. Thank for INFO

Welcome to the site, I haven't used buck tails, but have used Maribu jigs with good results. I am fishing Galveston and that bay, so it might be different, but I doubt it.

I liked white with red highlights, and chartreuse works good too.

Give one of our red/white glow bucktails a try with a gulp alive tail.

Being from the People's Republic of Massachusetts, I still have my striped bass and bluefish surfbag. Many of the lures that I use in the surf down here (Mustang Island) get me puzzled looks by native Texans. One of my most productive is a standard 1oz red/white bucktail with a curly tail. These killed the stripers up in the North Atlantic, and the Redfish and black drum down here love them too!

I think a bucktail jig will catch fish just about anywhere. As a kid fishing salt water every day, my go-to lures were a yellow Upperman jig and a chrome Reflecto Spoon. Between those two lures I caught virtually every inshore species (and some offshore) that south Florida had to offer.

I'm a fan of buggs jigs
