Subject: baitfish reference


I was thinking the other about taking pics of all the different kinds of baitfish that inhabit my local musky waters. This could be used by baitmakers when it comes to paiting new patterns. Do you think this would be a valuable resource? Fish in different place look diff. Depending on the time of year,water clarity, pressence of weeds, wood, or rock. Thanks for your opinions.

I would find it very useful. I have tried to find this information on google in the past.

Here's a link to the site I use.

It has lots of photos of fish
Lots of good information here to help a painter.

If you can get good pics with great clrity you can print them and use the actual photo as your bait cover. Done right looks great.

I live in indiana so we don't have nearly as many muskie waters as wisconson and minn. But there is still enough. The idea came to me when I was ripping a twitch bait off my pier and snagged 3 big shad in about 20 mins. The shad had a much darker back with shades of olive/grey/and dark blue than the normal shad patterns you generally see. Thanks for the opinions
