Overcast days

[Heron]

Kind of a generic question, but I'm looking to reorganize some things.

What are your preferred general colors for cloudy, overcast days?

mine are typically black for top water, black for bottom baits, and white, smoke, or flourescent for swimming baits.

Black, and you can never go wrong with green pumpkin

Under these conditions, with average water clarity, I'm starting to wonder if I don't need green pumpkin, if I have black

You need both colors!

You could do ok with just black, but I have had days where green pumpkin will outfish black two to one.  I would recommend trying at least one bag of of green pumpkin to see if they work.

But, were those days under the same conditions as I described?

For some reason on overcast days I have the most success with red bug.. but I also like greenpumkin and June bug 

definitely black top water

Black, blue/black, and green pumpkin to start with.  If those don't work I start playing around with colors to see what works.

Yes, one was a day last fall where it was overcast sky and wind, I caught eleven bass on a green pumpkin texas rigged zoom u-tail, and my buddy caught six.  But every body of water is different, some are the other way around, so you will have to make your own conclusions.  Black is nearly always the best color for topwaters.
