Why Is Morning Dawn Such A Good Color?

Featured Replies

Hey guys,

 

this is my first post after a long time away and a long time not fishing. I just recently started fishing again and the bait monkey has me by the balls... 

 

I have never tried the Morning Dawn color for worms, I usually use Green Pumpkin, Oxblood, Bold Bluegill, Aarons Magic, and Tequila Sunrise for Roboworms on a Drop Shot. I just recently have been reading up on some colors and Morning Dawn was touted as a color that works almost everywhere. So my question is:

 

What is it about Morning Dawn that makes it such a great color? Thanks in advance!

Because its pretty.

 

And since its pink, the larger females go for it.

Who knows. You will come across other colors that the fish will like as well. Make a mental note of the conditions you are fishing that make the morning dawn excel. 

I don't know what makes morning dawn work. But I don't really care because it catches fish! If you find a color that works in your area, use it. Like BassinLou said, make sure to take note of the conditions that particular color caught fish.

Thanks for the answers so far, but out of curiosity, I know that bass have a limited range of color recognition. So does the Morning Dawn color look different to bass than how we see it?

Morning dawn started in NorCal lakes and the delta and worked it's way south to DVL about 5 years ago.

The past few years morning dawn with a chartreuse tail has become a very good spotted bass color.

In general reds are good in the spring with bright sunlight, after 9 AM. Oxblood red flake, red crawler and morning dawn are translucent reds with light purple highlites and micro red flake and staples for finesse bass fishing.
