Title: Baits For Family Friend
Post by: DF on 07/12/15 20:30 UTC: I have been giving a few baits to my great aunts neighbors and they have had good luck with them and asked for some other colors to try besides the purple / chartreuse tail I usually send. What are some good colors for walleye?
Here is a shot of some I made for them to try out but I'm still looking for ideas.

I will take that as a complement WALLEYE WAKCER, I defiantly have learned a lot from Tom.

Here are a few more colors

The first batch was mostly remelts, this second batch is fresh shots. I have a few other colors also, hope they find something they like out of all these.

Darn fine remelts... mine look more like the Miss after a "gully-washer".

I believe they fish lake Huron or maybe Erie, well... one of the great lakes anyway. Guess I should have paid more attention to their story. I do remember they said the lake was a mess from all the heavy rain we have had. Oh one more interesting thing to report, green chartreuse was out fishing yellow chartreuse as a tail color, it seem like CTom had a similar comment earlier in the year about those two colors.

Post by: 2XL on 07/19/15 12:58 UTC: Yellow chartreuse pretty much never produces here. I don't know why but it just doesn't get it done for me. The green char tails in your second picture is a good color. Try adding some silver glitter to that color.
