Florida color schemes

[GatorBait]

Just wanted to here some of the communities favor lure colors to use in Florida? personally I use junebug, watermelon red, gizzard, chrome or gold with black or blue back. Have any of you used orange craw or chartreuse in Florida??

For plastics I use pumpkin or black with blue flakes, cranks I use black and chrome or citrus shad, and spinnerbaits I use a lot of chartreuse and white.

Baby bass And anything that looks like bluegill

because of the lack of shad in most of the local lakes, I agree with this one.

plastics ive been doing well with straight black. second is junebug... then any combination of watermellon... esp. redflake.

cranks sexy shad and any red craw color is fine with me.

i cant catch a fish on a black backed crank to save my life!? i dont get it...its the most realistic.

spinnerbaits... its white and chart. everytime.

A bass may strike your lure without mistaking it for a shad,

but a bass won't strike your lure, if he doesn't see it.

There is no color that's not displayed by some natural creature,

so rather than try to mimic any preexisting creature,

I choose colors based solely on their underwater visibility.

The 'sooner' a bass sees your lure, the broader the strike-window,

which is increasingly important as water clarity or water temperature decrease.

For lures that run on or close to the bottom like jigs and plastic worms,

I generally go with 'dark' colors such as black, black & blue and green pumpkin.

For lures that run on or close to the surface like toads and spinnerbaits,

I normally go with 'light' colors such as white, chartreuse, yellow, pink, etc.
