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

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?  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

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.

Why even try.........
