My best pull was 29 keepers in 45 minutes, and that was only working 6 rods.....couldn't even get more set.
    FYI... my best color on Saturday and Sunday was Tourney Winner, scorpion size. I love it when it catches fish, but hate it because that finish will only last a few trips for me. I wish they'd make that one on a hammered copper spoon....might last a little longer.
    Good luck out there!!!
    Eric is that a custom color or factory, I was out sunday righr around you and eye hunter. Was sure glad the waves Cal ed down the further east we went......was worried as I worked my way from maz. Towards the light house that we were not going to be able to fish in my little 19 fter

    Any other colors that are proven performers. I have some spoons but not what I feel is enough, wouldn't mind hearing what ppl feel are the 5 or 6 best all around performers for them

    If you're only going to stock your spoon box with 5 or 6 colors..... I'd go with:

    1) Pooh Bear Purple
    2) Pooh Bear Chartruese
    3) Yager Bomb
    4) Purple Demon
    5) Sir Walleye
    6) Cat Dog / Lami Cakes / I Don't Know ---- it's a toss-up..... all three of these can all have good days!

    I'm sure you noticed that Tourney Winner is not in there....even though it's had some AWESOME days! Like Sunday, it was on fire! But overall, the list above are my go-to colors to start with..... Those are all stock Michigan Stinger colors.

    Water clarity, sunlight penetration, depth of the fish, and what they are feeding on all have some effect on color selection. And many times, it'll change from one hour to the next! Add to that, speed, direction, and location..... and BAM! You've got a limit easy, right? And people think trolling is easy.....

    I do have a a couple of those colors, when starting the collection I though basic first then add others laters.

    I'm sure for the professional Fisher ppl the limits come easier than for us novice. But we all have great and bad days. It's the great days we remember when we are having a bad one.

    There is no doubt how hard and how much money you full timers put into your craft.

    I don't remember that, but I did see people on surfboards surfing the southeast corner of Kelleys! First time I've seen that!

    I was referring to me being out there Saturday in my little boat. I was probably between swells and you couldn't see me. Lol
