    Default Will Yellow Make a Difference


    I know some just can’t seem to accept Yellow as a good color for any bite.

    Soooo,

    I felt I would give these little guys a try to see if Yellow is a turn off in the waters I fish. LOL

    Its not that some of us don't like yellow, its that its not a productive color for us. One never really knows how any color will perform until he puts it to use. You've cooked up some nice combos there.

    Yellow work for me sometimes I've had some good days with full moon it's more of a yellow. Also butter belly works for a lot of people. I think you're going to do fine with them. Nice baits!

    Default Update on the Yellow Challenge

    Thanks Guys for your input

    So far Perch seem to be the best bite so far, with a few bite off’s which I feel were small northerns, but will continue after the front passes
    Seems every time I get the chance to go out its been so windy that I have to call off the trip as I’m in a 12’ John Boat having a shallow draft design with white caps starting to come over the side didn’t need to go for a swim.

    Always liked the Carrot Mold and have had success using them in the 4” and 3” size
    I use the Dual Injector to simulate the color minnows in the waters I fish.
    The PIC shows one of the colors I use along with sort of a Grayish, Blk top part.(sorry no pic on that color)

    Reason I liked the carrot I recall fishing the Northern Waters in WI in my early days using a June Bug Spinner, which in that era was a Hot Bait but that particular day it wasn’t, “Until” an O’L time Fisherman said Kid if you want to get Bite you have to use a carrot set up, Well I kinda chuckled and asked whats that?
    Well the O’L timer had a Real 4” Carrot leaving some of the green stalk left on it, strung a steel leader through it then put a treble hook on the end, attached it to the spinner and was good to go.
    Well ! never the less with the snicker I had before pitching this thing made me a believer in the hand crafted carrot bait, as I caught Walleye, Northern, and some very large Crappie.

    I often wonder if this may have been the beginning of the carrot mold

    Ya!, it kinda does

    I was hoping to use it in the Bay of Green Bay for some smallies or Walleye, but when fishing the Fox Chain hooked something that peeled off a ton of line and unfortunately broke off before I got a chance to see what it was.

    I am still old school. Those baits look good my friend....but I would still throw something with chartreuse into the lake first. I guess it is because I have more confidence with that color. CONFIDENCE is the MOST IMPORTANT item to have in your tackle box. You are always better off doing as you did and making two color baits. One of the colors will probably be seen and that is a good thing.

    1) Chartreuse and black
    2) Chartreuse and white
    3) Chartreuse and chartreuse
    4) Chartreuse and pink
    5) Chartreuse and aqua
    6) Chartreuse and flo orange

    then perhaps
    Chartreuse and yellow....
