I know that I might be invading an area that is off limits, but I wanted to share something. I haven't got to fish as my wife is still recovering from her heart transplant . I have 2 guys I help with baits, and they in turn give me feed back on colors that are working. This pre spawn has its on and off days but one color combination has shown ( for us anyway)its dominance so far. We always pull our spread of the try and true colors with none of them this season doing like last year dominate. Last year this time it was wild cat chartreuse and second color was plain white. The color combo that has overwhelming success has been red body and either white tail or a clear tail with silver metal flake. I know it's crappie fishing but has anyone noticed a color preference this year? You don't have to share the color maybe acknowledge There is something diffrent going on maybe it's been the lack of heavy rain and clear water conditions.
