And about the brown.. i can tell you that i have found that each lakes fish react diffrent to diffrent lures... usually trial and error and then stick with those lures. on one lake i used a wolly bugger with a bobber, on the other lake a have caought browns mostly on buzz bombs, and in both lakes Kastmasters caught me fish. i used the smaller to medium buzz bombs line/green, and orange. for kastmasters chrome and red-sided.
try night crawlers
