more eyes on your bait means more bites on your line as far as I can tell

I only fish black or junebug worms so in my case it would definitely be location.

You need plum, tequila sunrise, and watermelon red.

I've fished two of those three. Plus green pumpkin, and pumpkin seed, probably a few others. Sometimes they like those other colors, sometimes not. They ALWAYS eat black and junebug. Sunny, cloudy, clear, stained, doesn't matter. 

Not getting bites = location change.  Was getting bites, but not now = color change.

that is mike gilbert of working class zero talking about isolated bass populations, hes mostly tying it back to swimbait fishing but it can be applied to normal bass fishing. normally its always the location and not that bait or color. 

 

I think it may be both depending on the conditions.  Earlier this year it was color.  It didn't matter where I was casting to.  Now it's all about location.  I have to about hit the bass in the head with the bait to make them bite.
