I use Tadpolys exculsively. Black heads always in the summer.I also use 10 lb max ultragreen and this is plenty strong. I've landed 20lb fish on that with 8 lb leader by dragging them up on the beach. So in a boat where you have the luxury of being able to chase them is a bonus.

If the water is 10 feet or deeper you shuld be using a diver and bait or pulled over to one side and pitching into. too deep for plugs I think.

On colors for plugs just remember when you buy one hold it up like it would be working in the water and look at it from the back(like a fish). Thats what it sees so all of the fancy coloring and designs are to catch you not the fish. Keep it simple.

Also plug distance from the boat is critical. The I never go out longer than 65 ft and as little as 35 ft. Depends on the hole. A good rule is to run them out and if you have any belly in the line shorten it up intill its gone.

The three keys to plugs are Presentation, presentation presentation. Sorry for going on and on I got a little carred away
