My goto color has always been JuneBug for worms, I just have the most confidence in that one. Purple with bluke or sliver fleck, red shad, and plain black have also been favorites of mine. I have never been a big watermelon color user, but alot of people seem to like them, so I may give it a shot.
Flick: what types of cover have the largies been keying on? Weeds, wood, or a bit of everything? Just got back from a 10 day vacation, and am getting out this weekend for the first time in a long time. Nice to know the river is going to be coffee and cream brown!!
