Dark Lures
Okay, I know the favorite color for a pig n jig or even a worm are
black/blue or purple.But for some reason, I have no confidence in using dark colored lures
(except in clear water). I just think if I'm fishing stained or murky water, theres a better
chance of the fish seeing brighter colored lures. Am I wrong on this? |

| Somewhere I have a color spectrum that shows various colors at certian
depths and water colors. You have to remember that a fish uses much more
than sight to find a lure, and that they also have a different vision than
us humans. I'll post the chart when I find it. |

| I actually rather like dark colors in low light conditions or murky water. My
favorite early morning, muddy water spinner bait is a black and red skirt with
a black colorado blade. Red shad is always a good color and its fairly dark.
Of course sometimes a dark light combo is good, like black/chartruce. -Zimmy |

| I agree on the red shad! It's about the only color Powerworm that I own! |

| Hi group
I don't know what it is with you guys and your red shad worms but I can't
buy a bite on one much less catch a fish on one .I have actually spent a
whole afternoon fishing one with out much action , change colors [ green
/pump or motor oil] and the action picks up... But again I don't catch
many fish with any type of bait. Dazed and confused in Kentucky

| If you fish the cypress stained waters of SE Va or NE NC, you only need 2
worms. Rattle Snake, Earthworm colored floaters and lots of Red Shad, any
brand.

| There is something about a dark black surface lure at night that just can't
be beat! One of my first choices at night, jointed jitterbug, black crazy
crawler,black hula popper, black sputterbug, skitterpop, spinner bait with
the blades run so the water bulges and creates a wake, spooks, so little
time, so many lures, night time

Can you give some tips on smallmouth bass fishing for the season's opener at
the end of this month? Thanks |

| Yes, Galen, you are wrong. And the reason is simple: a) The eyes of a bass point up. b) What does a bass usually see when it looks up? Of course, the answer is
the sky. c) What does a bass see when it something blocks it's view between itself or
the sky, day time or night time? A silhouette, of course. If it is night or
the water is extremely stained, and it cannot look elsewhere to easily see
anything else, silhouettes are all that is available to see, and the best
silhouettes are formed with dark shapes. d) Therefore, dark colors are great at night or in heavily stained water.
Note that in daylight, however, bass can see still chartreuse, bright yellow
and fluorescent red in heavily stained water if they are relatively close to
the object.
