Thread: Been Testing

tru - turn has a light wire red aberdeen hook, #2 is as large as they have.

On some days the fish definately want a little color and some days a straight minnow is all they want for the most part. 2 things to remember, On a GOOD DAY it doesn't matter, and on a BAD DAY it doesn't matter ! Its the days in between the good and bad where you need to figure out whats working best. The 2 MCC tournaments I fished this year, the minnow critters and Gnats (both tipped with a minnow) has caught the fish we took to the scales. for both these tournaments the bite was on the slow side, but not considered BAD.

I think this is the best answer I've seen on this board, and I totally agree with it!!!!! Great observation.

So nobody will respond on the color idea ? Have caught fish on dirty water with white as well as black in clear . Do you find this odd ? Actually white has been my go to color more times than not . I found this due to fishing all white on trace one day and the next trip to enid i just tipped them all with a minnow and started fishing . Thinking that i would change them as i went . Ended up leaving at least one white gnat on each pole , when fishing enid .

never fish white for crappie, have got one on that is silver tho. Black is not bad anytime. black and blue combo has been good lately too.

hey ress try blue&white aka mississippi queen !!!!!!!!
