Summer colors

[anthonyroberts]

Could anyone give me info on what colors are best for summer fishing? I have heard the colors are directed by the natural colors of the season.

Thanks in advance,
Tony

Not really sure what's meant by "natural colors of the season" ... but, many people go by the water clarity & light penetration factors when choosing the colors of their baits. Dark conditions = dark baits ... light conditions = light colored baits.

I generally take the middle road and use baits with contrasting colors ... like blue/chartreuse, green/orange, etc. ... so that at least some part of the bait is going to be noticeable under most all water & lighting conditions.

Maybe colors are somewhat dictated by the prevalent food source of a particular season. More important to me is the water color, light conditions, weather conditions, what bait I'm fishing with and the depth that I'm fishing in. Right now I've been having good luck with watermelon or black/blue fleck T-rigged worms but that can change at any time. This time of the year you just gotta keep trying different stuff till you find something that works, but sometimes nothing will work.
