Ryan it does about 144 KM/H. Main colours are black. The bass will grab the lure on the fall 90% of the time due to the "muddy" water. So make sure your lure makes a splash when hitting the water. I caugth most of the bass off rocks and not so many of the standing timber. When you want to fish the bays behind the big island if you are launching at Denneysville watch out for the wind.
