    I have found that certain colors can be hotter one week to the next based on a variety of factors, depth fish are at, time of year, fish preference day to day...Ive had green and white hot one day, then it wont hit anything next day suddenly bright orange is hot. I generally run upwards of 12 lines so I start with a spread of spoons and flasher flys in all different colors and see what starts hitting, then change to match. Ive had days where cant buy a spoon hit but ff are hot, and also the flip side.. biggest key is if you are marking and not hitting change out your presentation and color till they bite ...I run no more than 30 minutes when marking fish without a hit before changing out rigs..

    So below is the picture of my new dash and electronic installation done myself...took off old thinner dash with old electronics and one new lowrance...traced it on butcher paper and sent it to www.boatoutfitters.com They cut me a new replacement routed edge on a thicker plastic king starboard that matched the previous to a T. Then I measured 16 times lol and cut in the electronics myself and built a bracket system to hold them all in place from behind...viola dual networked lowrance units with total scan...downscan and side scan..plus a Garmin 740 to replace my older chart plotter to run the radar....if you need something custom they do it..

    Actually it is a landlocked two major keys are the maxillary or back of mouth extends past the rear of the eye on a brown. This one does not...The adipose fin on top would have orange flecks and be a different shape... color can be affected by diet...so don’t judge the fish by color alone the way he is holding the fish isn’t helpful for another difference but my money is he’s right..

    Agreed I found plenty of fish way outside temp ranges they should be feeding in and slammed them... but I found them first on sonar, then put the lures on them, at the right speed, then varied presentation and lure color to find what they wanted, as well as speed as a last resort via the zig zag. As you say all the tools in the box... and some days it takes ALL

    Well I’ll raise my glass to the men who had the stones to give it a go and made it back not wearing a popsicle... our crap just ain’t meant for winter operations ...

    Dang... what sk8 said....I dont have time to be too old school I use the hawk for speed and temp equally important and I get as much as 1 mph difference between top and bottom speed on cayuga. If you can eliminate variables that stop you from catching you will catch more... in my humble opinion... Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

    I pmd you i have a couple digitrolls im sitting on Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

    The only difference would be id target about 1.7 at the lure, flasher spinner bee combos, small spoons, try a spread of variety see what hits...which is my lower end, realistically the fish typically hang in cold water anyway its just that they will be more spread out...

    Echo what he said above about safety please ending up in the water unless you are in a survival suit is certain death. Loss of an engine if you don’t have a backup will put you in a very dangerous place so have secondary propulsion and wear a pfd. Just as a frame of reference the coast guard would not authorize a water launch to get you for the auxiliary due to temperatures. All that said good luck be safe catch fish

    Hire a consultant? Maybe they can give him a seat next to the anti gun lobbiest or the guy that made the assault weapons decision. Dicks and field and stream stores don’t even exist in my eyes I’ll drive further or order online
