Colors - Whats HOT in your area?
It always boggles my mind why some shops cringe if I bring them 6 pink lures fearing that they will collect dust, while other shops would take pink everything and anything.
Inquiring minds want to know whats the top colors of choice in your area.
Areas:
Cape Cod - Cape Side Only
Cape Cod Canal - Mainland Side and surrounding areas
RI - South County and the upper bay
MV - The Island
NY - Montauk
NY - Long Island
NY - Everywhere Else
CT - River fishing included
Include your area with your response so people can figure out what to bring when they go, and I can figure out what to paint.  |

A couple of years ago, the black and orange darter was responsible for some quality Stripers at Montauk. Yellow has always been big there as well with pencils, bottles and darters.

Mike I have had good luck with olive back, pearl white belly swimming plugs, and blue over white, yellow over white. These colors have worked for me from Boston harbor to the Cape, and RI.

Mike--if there's a decent mullet run on LI during late August and September, you can sell all of the blue/white plugs you can make down here
Brad couldn't give blue/white Hawgs away at the Canal. I sold every one he had down here out of my truck. |

A periwinkle /pearl white swirl with a touch of mauve around the eye, would be nice I think.

Yeth, I hear mauve works well around P-town
Hey, what the hell is mauve, anyway? |

Periwinkle and mauve?! You and your brother have been staring at my fly-tying materials too much lately...
And mauve is a grayish lavender I think, so it probably is effective out on the tip of the Cape. |
