What are the most useful colors for stripers? I know thats like asking "what kind of underwear do you use?" Its subject to opinion, BUT I know there are some "need to have" colors. I looked at the list on Lunker City's website, and its a little overwelming. Also what sizes are most useful? I want to hit Derby on Sunday.

This reminds me of something Daryl (aka Daryl) told me. When someone asked President Reagan, "Boxers or briefs?", he answered, "Depends."

It's a classic dirty yet clean joke for the ladies. Works every time....

BassRican - DaveyDave (aka Dave) and his fishing buddy (aka NY Yankee Dad) told me to match the hatch and, in the case of stripers in the Housatonic River at least, that would mean Slug-Gos in blueback herring colors.

Hey DickVanPike & PECo! I know I would open up a can of worms with the underwear statement. Thanks for the color suggestions. I kind of figured on white and black (for night fishing). There are sooo many colors , that it seems like the lure companies design them to catch fishermen! PECo, I did order some of the blue back herring color also. I wasn't too sure about alwife or the bunker? I found a web site that had 9" 3pk for $4.99

| Im sure i'll be out there some point of the day/night.... who knows where its gonna bring me..... anything can happen and they can switch up quick. telling you that just get the obvious bait scheme thats in there shad,herring, alewives, soon bunker. cant wait till i can use a whole live bunker for the monsters omg... yea...bassrican when they come in all hell breaks loose thats whats gonna separate most of us and our fishing. Some will go salt and stay salt till fall.... Im all around. Stockings for upper farmington and salmon river for trout 8000 going in the waters this week most likely today........ But weather mad nice so might be in derby.......... |

Crest Daddy - I picked up some white, black, and blue herring. Nine inch. They all came with a large hook. Ordered them on Thursday and recieved them on Monday! No problems. Hope to get out soon. Bum shoulder got me out of commission

bassrican sounds like ur headed in the right direction i would try all the color u mentioned above but i usually throw the hook in a coffee can where i throw all my hooks that come with the lures..i usually rig them steve mcenna style double rigged 7/0 offset gami..find it on youtube
i have found that after a rainstorm like we had last night into today dont be scarred to toss a chartruese or a bubblegum or white with the silver flash..
as a heads up the houssy has been a zoo just about everybody down there think they own the river and are A**H****.Get ready for heavy boat traffic and just about elbow to elbow fishing.If by chance u are lucky enough to hook up into a fish guys will cross u and seems like they try their hardest to foul u up and lose the fish keep a knife handy for quick line cuts no questions asked!!!might come in handy afterwards too!!!lol
not the place to go and fish if ur seeking calm serenity and peace and quiet ..
Good Luck think im done with Houssy till all the traffic settles down hopefully its just because no big schools of bass have moved inhopefully all these danm people will dispurse once things really get started in the sound |
