Alright, let’s talk about them whopper plopper colors for catchin’ bass, you know, the kind that make them big ol’ fish jump right outta the water.
First off, you got yer basic black and white. Now, some fellas, they swear by these. They say, “Keep it simple, stupid!” And ya know what? Sometimes they’re right. A black one, they call it “Loon” sometimes, looks like a tasty little somethin’ swimmin’ on top. And a white one, “Powder” they say, well, that looks like a shad or somethin’ the bass like to munch on.
- Black (Loon): Good for when it’s kinda cloudy or the water’s a bit murky. Makes a good silhouette, ya see?
- White (Powder): Good for when it’s sunny and the water’s clear. Shines real nice and gets their attention.
But then you got them other colors, all fancy and whatnot. Some folks, they like them. Me? I ain’t so sure. But I heard some fellas sayin’ they work, so I guess they ain’t all bad.
Now, if the water’s real clear, like you can see right down to the bottom, you might wanna try somethin’ a little more… well, detailed. Like one that looks like a real fish, with little lines and spots and such. But honestly, most of the time, black or white does the trick just fine. Why make things complicated, right?
I heard tell of some fellas usin’ bluegill colors, too. Said they look just like them little bluegill fish the bass love to eat. And I guess that makes sense. If it looks like food, the bass are gonna try to eat it. That’s just common sense, ain’t it?
So, you’re probably wonderin’, “Which one should I use?” Well, that’s the million-dollar question, ain’t it? It depends. It depends on the day, the weather, the water, and what them fish are feelin’ like eatin’.
Here’s my advice, take it or leave it:
Start with black or white. If that ain’t workin’, then maybe try somethin’ else. Don’t get too hung up on the fancy stuff. Remember, it ain’t the color that catches the fish, it’s you. You gotta know how to work that whopper plopper, make it dance and splash and call them bass in for dinner.
And don’t forget about the size of that there whopper plopper, too. Sometimes them big bass want a big ol’ meal, and sometimes they want somethin’ a little smaller. It’s all about figuring out what they want on that particular day.
I tell ya, fishin’ ain’t rocket science, but it ain’t always easy either. You gotta be patient, you gotta be persistent, and you gotta be willin’ to try different things. But when you finally hook into that big ol’ bass, man, it’s all worth it. There ain’t nothin’ like it. The pull on the line, the fight, the thrill of the catch… it’s just… well, it’s just somethin’ special.
So, go on out there, try different colors, try different sizes, and see what works for you. And don’t forget to have fun. That’s what it’s all about, ain’t it? Just gettin’ out there, enjoyin’ the fresh air, and maybe catchin’ a few fish along the way. And who knows, maybe you’ll even catch the biggest bass you ever seen. You never know your luck, til you give it a go, I always say. That’s what makes fishin’ so excitin’.
Now, I ain’t no expert, mind you. I’m just an old woman who likes to fish. But I’ve caught my fair share of bass over the years, and I’ve learned a thing or two along the way. And one thing I know for sure is that the best color whopper plopper is the one that gets you the bite. So go out there and find it!
And one more thing, always be respectful of the water and the fish. Don’t leave no trash behind, and don’t keep more fish than you need. We gotta take care of our resources, so we can keep on fishin’ for years to come.
Alright, I’ve rambled on long enough. Go get yourself a whopper plopper, find a good spot, and go catch some bass! Good luck to ya, and tight lines!
Remember, fishin’ is supposed to be fun, not stressful. If you ain’t catchin’ nothin’, don’t get all worked up about it. Just keep tryin’ and enjoyin’ the day. The fish will bite eventually.
