When Fluking What Are Your Preferred Color Choices
« on: March 26, 2008, 09:32:45 AM »
I like Chartresue and Fluorescent Yellow in clear OR dirty water.

I feel that these two colors out produce in ant conditions.

I find White, Red, Pink are not as productive in water that is a bit dirty.

I think that dirty water distorts the look of Red, White or Pink.

Chartreuse/Fluorescent Yellow seem to hold their appearance better in muddied water.

I'm not sure how the Fluke see this, I wish I did.

What do you folks think?

White, green, chartueuse.

Have had success with Pink in deep clear water at SHR.

As the saying goes, "If it isn't chartreuse, it aint no use".

I'll start every fluke trip with some of type of chartreuse colored teaser/attractor. I like to have a litte red in it as well.

If that doesn't work (which seldom occurs). I'll go to either white or pink.

Early in the season I like using what I refer to as a sea robin pattern (white/brown/orange). This is deadly when there are allot of baby sea robins around.

Later in the year I like using a blue over white pattern to imitate a peanut bunker.

In the ocean I'll sometimes use a pink over white with some flash-a-boo in it to imitate a baby porgy or a almost all white with a little pink in to copy a small squid. Either can really turn the bite on.

I've also had success with an olive over white pattern to mimic spearing and a pumpkinseed pattern to mimic crabs or shrimp.

I generally tie all samples on a 3/0 Gammie Octopus.

I like to start with white.  Then I will go to chartrues, yellow then red.  I also use the skunk (white and black).  One of the guys who fishes with me likes that the best.

Depending on conditions I start with Chartrues, white , white and red , yellow. alot of time just that plain hook produces better. with a nice drift I add a spinner blade or spin-n-glow. t^

Chartresue is defnately the most popular color.

50% of all of the teasers and rigs that I sell have some type of Chartreuse somewhere.

The other 50% is divided up amongst the other colors.

I would have to say White gets the second nod.
