I did see some comments from the last 2 years, where it didn't seem to matter from a color perspective except that some agreed a brighter color worked best on sunny/bright days, and darker colors for cloudy/dark overcast days. Is this still the case that color really has no impact? Also, besides being able to go deeper, or using shorter lines, is there a real difference between using 30's, 40's, or 50's? Obviously, you want to match the depth of the fish you are marking, but what other considerations do you need to look at with the Tru-Trips (besides making sure you reset them each time)?
Fishing from Lorain west the 40s will cover any water column you want to fish. If you run in line boards 40s are pretty much the max you want to pull with them. In my opinion color of the jet isn't as important as bait color selection. However if you use big boards there are times 50s will catch fish when 40s won't. That's just my opinion I'm sure others might feel differently. Fishing the big pond can be subjective.
