Cunner/Bergall Patterns

Anyone have any cunner/bergall paint schemes they want to share?

I went skin-diving in one of my favorite spots recently and saw that the rocks were full of cunners, from about 3 - 8 inches. I've looked at a lot of pictures online and I'm trying to decide what colors to accent on a needle I have set aside for this. I figured I'd look for a little inspiration from any of you who have tried to mimic this little wrasse.

I love these little fish -- they are fearless. Some swam right up to my face mask to see what was poking around their home.

Make great catching for kids too.

We all know that there are lots of different preferred baits down the canal but one things is probably true - when all the other bates are gone, the Cunner are there. Just Saying.

GRS did a custom blackfish pattern. Like you, I see a lot of small blackfish and cunner when diving and know they have to be on the striper's menu at times. A 4" diving danny in this color would be sweet, as would some fat stubby needlefish.
