with all these colors being promoted by different fishermen doesn't it prove that bass will hit just about any color thrown out there provided it mimicks a bait fish and especially a wounded bait fish ?
Well, yes, they will. BUT.....Bream colors do work better for me in post spawn when fish are guarding a nest or fry, shad colors in summer and fall, when bass are on a heavy shad feed. And I prefer a black bait a night or in heavy cloud cover.
Obviously some baits work better than others at specific times of the year & when you can figure that out & figure out where the fish ARE HANGING OUT at that specific time of the year,,,,,,,then you truly become a fish catcher and not just a fisherman.
This is what has worked for me.
