Another Vermilion Question
I’ve spent a lot of time going over maps looking for fishing spots for late summer smallness on vermillion. I have identified 20 locations on the “East” side of the lake that I want to fish depending on wind direction. My question to my fellow BBCers is on color. From what I’ve read Vermilion is a tanic or stained water. My smallie experience is in Green Bay Area in gin clear water. What colors of crankbaits, spinnerbaits, keitechs, and plastics would you recommend.
I normally throw a lot of green pumpkin plastics (little tubes, neds, senkos)
keitechs green pumpkin and some white variations
white and chartreuse spinnerbaits
and brown/green and shad squarebills. Do I need some more crayfish colored ones? Would you recommend orange, or red?

I wouldn't call Big Bay of Vermilion tannic or stained water; it's relatively clear.
Be sure to night fish the reefs with topwater baits on the full moon.
