If you hit a school of blues in a frenzy you could throw an empty hook into the water and they'd hit it - and I'm not kidding. We've had bucktail jigs worked down to a dented, tooth-scarred piece of lead with a hook on it by blues and they were still hitting it.

If you're onto the snapper blues, I've had good luck with a small bucktail jig. People often use too large a lure for the loner snappers around jetties and piers. They'll hit small stuff pretty well though.
