Hi guys, I'm actually very new to fishing and all, but I'm indeed loving it already. The fun, relaxation, and somewhat the fulfillment is priceless when I go out fishing. Since I've just been doing this for a couple of weeks, or to be more precise, I've only fished around thrice... and... caught only a 7-inch bass and don't even have that much of a gear to know its weight. But, I do have a handful of very cheap colored lures and baits, along with those wormy ones that I usually put on the hook that actually still luckily made me catch a couple of fishes. So is there really a specific color that works better than the other? If so... what is it?
I've read that color usage depends on a lot of factors such as weather and water clarity. Also checked on a few guides here and there and they suggest red colored ones do the trick most of the time but somehow they are still quite vague. So, is there like more of a standard lure color that always work, I live in texas by the way so you can be more specific. And, I only have cheap equipment since I'm new and would like to invest if this fishing thing is really for me. Would really love to be good at it, though, but want to progress slowly. So, if you have any tips for a beginner like me, I'd be very much thankful. By the way, don't have a boat and just fish around the shore. Hopefully, these details I provided will somehow help you guys help me out
