As he said, in the winter and spring the yellows are deeper, so the yo-yo iron works great too. I guess color doesn't matter, but blue/white, scrambled egg and mint seem to be the most popular.

Stupid Question coming....so you are yo-yoing right, how do you know there are fish there? Are you marking them on the FF or Yo-yoing over structure you believe their to be fish?
