Location: Northern Illinois | Anybody use light blue backed lures in shallow perch forage lakes? I have a couple of nice blue top water and cranks, that I use on shad and Cisco lakes, but I'm leery to use them on shallow perch type lakes. Anybody use these blue backed lures in these type of lakes? |

| I have had some of my best luck with blue/silver bucktails on perch lakes. Can't speak on the crankbaits or topwaters however.

| ciscoes and white fish are not blue either so I think you will be ok. |

| Try to think what forage matches the pink/bubblegum lure patterns. |

Location: Hayward, WI | I have caught a lot of fish on rubber and double 10's that have blue in them on lakes that don't have any ciscos or whitefish in them. The bubblegum analogy is a good one. |

| I believe color to be one of, if not the least, important factor in catching muskies. Having confidence in a color is huge, but the fish really could care less most of the time. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The 'actual' color of the lure in the water is really important, mostly because of the need for contrast for the lure to be seen easily. |
