I'm going to be out before sunrise and will probably be back in by 9 to avoid Labor day crowds....
I've had marginal luck with the watermelons usually the bows and lakers like those never got a salmon on one.

The pink with black spots is a good one as well have had good luck with them, the blaze orange with black spots is even better.

Big thing to remember, bright and sunny use bright colors on overcast or low light use not so bright colors. That grey ghost seems to be a good option no matter the conditions. I usually always have that one in the water.

One other good one is the "lady bug" copper, red stripe with black spots. The salmon like those.
