Eagle "Colors"

[boogerb2]

Herbie,

I'm looking forward to my trip up in mid-August! I'm going to pretty much be pounding muskies the whole time. I was wondering if you or anyone else on this blog could help me minimize the amount of lures I bring by quickly going over what has been the best lure colors/combinations for the past few years. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

I would recommend some searching of past posts. There are huge threads on this. Real quick though:
Bulldawgs - Walleye, Black/Orange, cisco
Grammas - Black, Black Holo, Tenn Shad, Muskie/Gold Holo
Spanky/Cowgirl - smoke/black, black/black, orange/black
Depth Raiders - sucker (or mullet), perch
Topwater - anything black

Secondary colors...have had some success with some red and also if you're in the Eagle River area some greenish tones have worked.

Good luck.
