Science: Bait Color and Selection
Response was great to our Science post a couple weeks ago on Shad Dynamics. Check it out at the link if you haven’t seen it already. It was listed as a “Top-5″ favorite science piece, which brought out the questions about what were the other four. So, we thought we’d dig out another one to [...]
Science: Choosing Bait Color
There are a lot of reasons and ways you can utilize to pick bait color. Old standby guidelines such as lighter colors on bright days, and darker colors on dark days. How about natural hues like greens and browns in clear water, and darker colors like blacks and blues in more stained water…and don’t foget match the [...]
Science: Research On Bass Color Preferences
I’m always looking for the practical applications of science and research, and how I can better utilize the information from those studies to better my fishing. One particular area of interest concerns studies done that try to discern color perception or preference in bass or other fish. Based on most of the studies I’ve read [...]
Red In the Fall?
We all know the “red in the spring” thing re: baits, though living here in the Northeast I don’t think it’s that big a deal. But red in the fall? Ran across this about Oregon’s Hyatt Lake: “Largemouth bass fishing is excellent for those wind-drifting worms or casting and retrieving any red spinner or spoon.” [...]
For Me, Some Red Is Dead

Science: Is Red Dead?
It’s one of those things where you either believe or you don’t. Some things are just like that in the bass fishing world. I was checking out the In-Fisherman web site, just browsing around, when I came across an article from last month in which they revisit the “red revolution”. Seems like they hit this topic [...]
