Oh, well, you see, when fall comes around, them bass fish ain’t so easy to catch, not like in summer when they swim around all careless like. In the fall, they’re a bit pickier ’bout what they eat. Now, if you wanna catch ’em, you gotta know what colors to use on your bait. I been fishin’ all my life, and I can tell ya, the color of your lure can make a big difference! Let me tell ya about it, darlin’.
First thing’s first, bass, come fall, they’re lookin’ for two things mostly—baitfish and crayfish. You gotta pick your bait colors so they look like what them bass are used to seein’ in the water. If you do that right, you’re gonna have a good day on the water, I promise ya.
Now, one of the main things to remember when you’re pickin’ a color for your bait is the water clarity. If the water’s nice and clear, well, you wanna use something that looks natural, like a crawfish color. Crawfish got that earthy, brownish-red look, and that’s somethin’ them bass are always lookin’ for in the fall. You know, them crawdads get all spooked when the water starts gettin’ cold, so bass like to gobble ’em up when they get the chance.
But, if the water ain’t so clear, if it’s a little murky, you gotta pick somethin’ bright and easy for the bass to see. Something like yellow, orange, or even bright chartreuse. Them bright colors stand out in the murky water, and the bass, they see ’em a lot easier. It’s like a dinner bell goin’ off for ’em, y’know?
Now, let me tell ya, them bass really seem to like them fluorescent colors. I don’t know what it is, but bass seem to respond more to them glowing colors, especially when the sun’s a bit low in the sky. If you’re fishin’ around dawn or dusk, them bass just seem to go wild for them fluorescent blues, greens, and even that chartreuse. They love it! I’ve had more luck with them colors when the sun’s either comin’ up or goin’ down.
As for the time of day, well, I learned a long time ago, it ain’t always the early morning that’s best. When them nights start to get cool, around 40 or 50 degrees, bass tend to be more active midday and in the late afternoon. Now, mornings and evenings, yeah, they can be good for surface action, but don’t forget about that midday bite when the sun’s up high. You might catch your biggest bass then!
And don’t forget the temperature, either. As the water cools off, the fish slow down a bit. But if you use them bright, easy-to-see colors and fish when the light’s low, you’re gonna have a much better shot at catchin’ ‘em. That’s the secret, I reckon. It ain’t just about throwin’ your line in the water and hopin’ for the best. You gotta know what they like, and what colors make them fish bite.
Here’s a little list for ya, if you want a quick rundown on what colors to use:
- Clear water: Natural colors like crawfish (browns, reds)
- Murky water: Bright colors like yellow, orange, chartreuse
- Low light conditions: Fluorescent colors (blue, green, orange)
- Midday fishing: Bright, visible colors
So, next time you’re out there on the lake, think ’bout them colors, and maybe you’ll bring home a big ol’ bass for supper. Don’t let them bass outsmart ya, darlin’. Remember, pick the right color, fish at the right time, and you’ll be well on your way to a big catch!
