Road warrior is right. Depending where I am and how much time I have, I switch colors and find what I am gettin action on. In my canal out back, doesn't matter what the water looks like...they will only bite white and green. Weirdest thing in the world. I can throw a buzz, top water frog, and a worm, and as long as they are those colors, I get hits. But here is a tip on that... The bright green matches the Lilly pads, and fish and bass in general are attracted to the white. That's why you always put light side down, and i always start with matching the surrounding environment in new spots.
