Keeping the tackle box to a minimum
Posted: Thu May 06, 2010 2:23 pm
I am trying to minimize my paddle fishing tackle box to a point where only 3 lure types are carried on trips along the shallows of the Intracoastal Waterway, near Venice/Sarasota. Six lures in total. Three for clear water and 3 for dark water.
A top water, a shallow runner (24" or less) and a soft plastic bottom bouncer.
My current choices for clear water are a Zara Spook Jr. in bone, a Mirrodyne in green back, and a near clear DOA shrimp.
For stained or murky waters, I believe that I need darker colors for those lures, but which color works best around my neighborhood?
Any experiences on darker colors for the Spook, Mirrodyne and DOA in stained or murky waters?
