Surface Swimmer/favorite color
 

In a similar vain to Back Beach's thread, What is your favorite COLOR to use in a Danny type surface swimmer during A. daytime B. nighttime?.

a. white

b. white / black

Lets hears your there steve

Sorry, I forgot-- Day (dusk and dawn included)- white with a red splash on chin or all yellow, blue swirl or parrot --- Night- Parrot or anything dark, like burple.

a)yellow over white

b)blurple

White or pearl for day, yellow at night and every so often, bunker pattern at any time. That being said, I'm not afraid to try anything at any time. Sometimes the fish will suprise you.

I've done pretty well with fluorescent green above silver above white the last several years.....both day and night. So much for "match the hatch".

George ,That was one of my favorite color combos on needlefish plugs on BI in the 80's. Got a 51 on a Gibbs needle in that combo. I have a brandy new BM junior in that shade. I 'll have to try it this season. Thanks

I'd have to say yellow.

White and white

white with pink stripe day or night

A Yellow, White, or bassmasters herring
B White, Black

I have not gone to Dannys as much as should though as of late - usually working during danny-time :bsod:

Yellow over white for both

Red/white

White
Blue top and white
White belly, gold and black top
all have red chin

Bunker......period. It mattered not what plug I was throwing last year or when......they were crushing anything I threw in bunker! It has a white belly....color breaks to silver and has the green/scarlet/yellow on the sides with the dots........it accentuates the action and they seem to like it?:tooth:

Larry that bunker pattern is :drool:. But for me its usually just white when it comes to danny's.

traditional herring, white, or yellow white by day

white, yellow white, and blurple by night. i don't think much of surface swimmers at night but there are times.

a dont fish much during the day
b black or blurple

At night, any color. If there are bass around and I'm using a Danny, I'll be havin' a BLAST!:btu:

yellow/white




black or pollack

Red/white or red/yellow day or night.

Let me see, surface swimmer meaning the back is only visible to gulls. Pretty much most fish have white belly color, I'll take white. Sub surface I like to match the hatch, with natural colors. I am sure fish see very different than us. Color perception is not the same. Night vision is much better than ours. . etc . . .etc. Sportfishing magazine had an article about fish vision and color changes under water, interesting stuff. But have seen a lot nutty things happen over the years its not an exact science.

Black & Gold
White (pearl)
Yellow/silver,pearl white

those are my basic, "start with these" choices but not all under the same conditions or on the same type of plug (ie; yellow under a full moon danny or needle)

There are other color combos in my bag as well that change on a rotating basis. Fish can get finicky some times.

I would have to say my favorite color is flo chartruese to yellow.

yahhh... thats a deadly color day in and out i think too
