As a kid, we had a neighbor that fished a local lake for bass. Mr. Calloway always seemed to bring home some fish, which he kept and cleaned. He pulled into his driveway after a fishing trip, on a hot summer day. Dad and I were mowing, and working in the yard. Dad shut the mower off, and we walked over to talk to him. He lifted a cooler out of the back of his station wagon, that had several two pound bass, and one that was bigger. Of course we asked him what he caught them on. Al these years later, I still remember what he said. " I caught these bass on a purple plastic worm, and a purple Beetle Spin. I'll tell you guys, these Missouri bass love the color purple, they really go for it.". This has been the single best fishing advice I've ever had. I've had the very best results with the color purple, with soft plastic baits, jig trailers etc. There was nothing scientific about this advice. Just words of wisdom from an experienced fisherman. Sometimes, this type of advice is the best. What's the best fishing advice you've ever received?
