Went to the sand pit today. Threw in:

   silver Mepps,

   wonderbread Wally Diver,

   baby bass Bandit 200,

   green blade bait,

   orange, pink and brass Cop-e-cats,

   all to no avail. No fish, not even a hit.

   Last fall there was a discussion about black lures, and I had bought some for Christmas. One of them was a black Dardevle. I put that one on, and two hours and five (little) bass later, I'm convinced!

   Black is the new chartreuse!

   I have to admit that I had my doubts about all-black lures. No more!

 

   I sense the Bait Monkey sneaking up behind me......    ?         jj

   And here I hadn't realized that they had a black model.  I have the silver, now I gotta get the black.     jj

I've been using a black Johnson Silver Minnow with either a solid black or solid yellow rubber spinnerbait skirt as a trailer since the early 1970's. It's still one of my primary lures in the freshwater marshes in South Louisiana.

I’ve caught a ton of bass on black spinner bait

   And that's one of the other black lures that I got for Christmas. Northland Reed Runner in "bullhead". I need to try it out soon, too.      jj
