Marten River - plastics colours for pickerel

[Burtess]

Heading up to Marten River all of next week. I do not frequently target pickerel so I could use some suggestions for lures / setups that work up there.

 

I have a bunch of different colour and size worm harnesses and bottom bouncer weights, decent assortment of plugs and minnow baits, swim baits and twister tails (in white and yellow). Anything else I need? Any other colours twister tails recommended?

 

We will have worms and I will also bring some leeches.

 

Thanks!!

You are more than ready with all that gear haha.

 

I fish the area (not Marten River itself though) very often. I like the Rapala Clackin' Rap for casting/covering water. Never really honed in on a specific twister color, but I like bright (like blue, yellow, white) for dark waters and also prefer using 4" for walleye.

 

When the fish are slow, piggyback the jig/twister with a piece of worm.

 

Find rock points, shoals and get serious at around 7pm. Fish should be quite active right now.

They love leeches!!!

Pink - the universal fish catching color! Actually, white is probably just as good as pink but I always start with pink wherever I fish.
