Hey guys I have been hitting docks pretty hard recently and with fall righht around the corner I wanted to start using my creature baits ( havoc hawk hawgs) I have 4 colors

Red bug

Bama bug

Bold bluegill

Watermelon red

I live in wisconsin and fish relatively clear water lakes with medium thickness of vegetation, what color would you suggest for the fall transition and how would you fish it as well as your set up? Thanks a ton guys, tight lines to all!

depends on your lake's forage but I usually use those in spring

if bluegill go bluegill

but when in doubt go watermelon

I think you are worrying too much about color. As long as you get the right fall rate I think any of those wil be bitten. I would personally throw bama bug just because I like that color. 

 

I would throw it on 12lb mono, 7ft medium heavy rod, lews tourney pro, texas rigged or on a wobble head.

How do you like to work it?

If you are going after docks, just pitch it in by each of the pilings. You can move pretty quickly, usually they will hit it on the fall so i let it drop, sit a second, if no bite jerk it up real quick and fall one more time. If nothing, pitch to a different spot. After a while you can tell if they are biting on the initial fall or the second one and change your strategy from there. If you are fishing rocky areas i would use a wobble head and crawl it over the rocks, alternating between a steady retrieve trying to bump as many rocks as I could or by retrieving it with hops and or jerks. 

Id go with Argyle.
