Fishing color tips and lure retrieval advice
Standings should be. Our experience makes us believe this was nothing to do have found. Blacks vor dark pact lures effective in water and vice versa with the white or light colored lures. Light shad and minnow finishes with a dark green blend and a solid white lure are favorites, but red and white, yellow perch black and white also good colors. Don’t give up if you miss your first cast. Cast beyond the spot and work the lure in on the retrieve. The most effective retrieve is a medium fast sweep with a complete stop for a few seconds, then start again. If using sinking lures, avoid sinking to the bottom or you will lose the plug. Don’t be discouraged fish hard and often and take only what you can use.
