Just a funny realization. The lake I haunt on the regular has always fished well with green and chartreuse. But for some reason, this year since late winter, I only seem to catch on black/blue. The water color and clarity hasn’t changed. The lake doesn’t get much pressure. 

 

I even went to some new water recently and couldnt buy a bite on the trusty coreshot chartruese senko that i normally fish everywhere else. Put the black/blue on and BAM! 

 

This is only my third season of bass fishing. So this change in trend is rather new to me. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Have you been able to nail down a reason for the change?

Only the bass know the reason for the change, and they ain't talkin'.

I’ve suggested this before the water conditions change as we go deeper in the water column.

 

Fishing the same spots I feel the bass learn our baits. What was hot last year isn’t this year. Back to square one playing with colors and sizes.

 

Focus on your presentations they must be flawless, picture perfect and award winning. Topwater I like the 1-2-3 pause. That’s 1 rip, 2 rip, 3 rip, pause. Shallow crankbaits I do the same or a slow reel. With inline spinners I move them just fast enough for the blades to spin.

 

its not luck in fishing it’s skill.
