Esox pro Posted August 30, 2020 Author Posted August 30, 2020 If this helps I mainly fish the canal for smallmouth Quote
Super User Teal Posted August 30, 2020 Super User Posted August 30, 2020 Sexy shad or baby bass Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted August 30, 2020 Super User Posted August 30, 2020 The local brown bass population often prefers a semi-clear bait with a splash of color . . . A-Jay Quote
Esox pro Posted August 30, 2020 Author Posted August 30, 2020 These smallmouth go into a feeding frenzy on these minnow schools Quote

Ben77 Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 Definitely bone I'm gonna have to try that baby bass out. Quote
zell_pop1 Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 Universal a white color like Sexy Shad, but for clear water LC's Gunfish/Sammy color ghost blue shad works best. Quote
BoatSquirrel Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 One more for bone which I will fish all day in stained or muddy water. In clearer water I like a chrome or clear bait once the sun gets on the water. 1 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 31, 2020 Global Moderator Posted August 31, 2020 Bone That would be my color choice if I could only pick one for all my hard baits honestly. Quote

Esox pro Posted August 31, 2020 Author Posted August 31, 2020 What size should I get i lost my last one to electric line Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted August 31, 2020 Super User Posted August 31, 2020 A spook has been my number one bait this summer. I start with a bone colored super spook jr, if the bass don't want that I switch over to a bone colored zara puppy. As a last resort I will try a baby bass Zara puppy. If that doesn't work I stop fishing topwater baits. Quote
CountryboyinDC Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 I had to go look up the name, but G-Finish shad would be my color. Baby bass and a pattern that is black with a white 'skeleton's are my best producers. I don't remember if I've ever tried bone, but I have a lot of bone colored topwaters. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted September 1, 2020 Super User Posted September 1, 2020 Pursuant to contrarian reasoning, ANY color but 'bone' My favorite is Black Shiner. Roger Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted September 1, 2020 Super User Posted September 1, 2020 Bone is the most universal color in a Spook - most will say especially on an over cast day , low light early in the morning or in to early evening after sun set . All other times , I give the nod to a spook color that does not get enough top water love : Black Chrome - especially if there is wind or wave action due to boat traffic on a sunny day . Black Chrome will work in other conditions as well due to the flash produced when working a Spook (even on a cloudy day Black Chrome Spook is producing flash) . *No matter , for the Fall feed up bass will be targeting shad or bait fish in most areas of the country - so a Bone , Chrome , Pearl White , Sexy Shad , Ghost , etc. colors would get the nod (unless you are a Blue Gill only fishery in MN. some where in which case buy a Blue Gill pattern Spook color) ... Save buying the Baby Bass color until Post Spawn 2021. Quote
Esox pro Posted September 1, 2020 Author Posted September 1, 2020 Definitely getting bone And baby bass Black chrome and/or black shiner what do you Guys think about that Quote
