3 colors worked exceptionally wellfor me this year....Olive/White, Olive/White, Olive/White, and the occasional Olive/Silver too :D

Last year it was White/red head for the biggest fish all year.

blurple has always been good to me (even as a fly)
olive over silver (or white)
black fade to orange belly (for some reason, this has been great as a bomber magnum color, but little else)
parrot
wonderbread, although I still don't use it very often
thanks- I hope these bet into production

John, I would have to say my favorite color is whatever color they are hitting on a particular day.Today for instance me and LaPorte took my 14 foot skiff down the Elizabeth's,all the way to Nashawena to be exact, and they hit white pencils and white w/ pink sided Beachmaster medium Danny's. So white was my fav today. If I had to list colors by rank of importance to me it would go: White w/pink side
Yellow w/silver side
Black w/gold side
All black
I once asked Stan Gibbs if he had only two plugs he could fish with what would they be and what colors would they be and he looked right at me and said " a black and silver and a blue and silver rebel". Now that says something.

Mr. Habs, wish you could have seen the color of Barfmaster's puke on Saturday. I'm sure that color would be KILLER.

Steve, he not only puked, but wretched big-time at least three times. I felt awful bad that he got sick, it could happen to anyone. When it comes to offshore trips, you should always be prepared for motion sickness, regardless of the weather.

To Dave's credit, he suffered quietly, although he elicited a chain-reaction "sympathy vomit" out of me on his first wave. Poor Notaro...Dave was regurgitating to his left and I was gagging on his right. :laughs: :yak:

no its wendy's chilli puke . green/brown and maybe a tinge of red ( from the broken vessels in the stomach ) and the topper some yellow bile for the final ( I got no more ) touch .
