Baits For Family Friend
« 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.

That purple with a chartreuse tail. Firecracker....clear with red, blue and silve glitter with the chartreuse tail are good color D.

Nice stuff D.  Translucent char green with silver glitter and purple cracker and electric blue with a white tail are a few good choices here.

The dirty tractor (John Deere) would be my number one walleye getter on main river the wingdams...  but if I were to go up the shallow tribs, I would be relying on the milk without question!

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

Here are a few more colors

The second batch looks better than the first... I would hate to think you are holding out on your buddy!

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.

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.
