Color theory
 

So sell me on all white plugs? Never caught anything worth a damn on all white. Not pearl... just white

Actually the very 1st Striper I caught on wood was on a White Habs Needle

I only use white plugs between Memorial and Labor day :laughs:

Wait till' Flaptail sees this thread!:eek:

If I had to pick only one color, white would be it.

90 % of the fish I got last year were from a white popper.

white in the bright

white gibbs pencil poppers treated me real good last season , but then agian boat fish don't count :D

On moonlit nights, white stands out in the surf/canal.
on dark or overcast nights, dark colors stand out better against the sandy bottom or the surface, with both conditions giving the fish a MORE visible target to attack.
That doesn't mean the it's always the case, but just my own opinion (from past experience).
I am open to other points of view.

Geeze Larry post a pic of that mangled white needle of yours. That thing slayed 'em!

Agree with FT, we also found out , on moon lite nights (clear sky) parrot (flo. yel/flo.grn) can be pissa :D
Vic all white anything (swimmer/popper) when squid are around the Cape mid May-June :cool:

What? Did I read that right? Doubting the power of white? Oh my God! Travesty! Blasphemy! White is the way, the power and the light! If not white then what is there? Would May be May? Would June be June? My God man, get on your knees and repent for thy Blasphemous way!:eek5: :err: :doh: :fishslap:

:hidin: Ok I'll try it :devil:

Wow, Its like Young Skywalker was beat down by Yoda..

No! No different! Only different in your mind. You must unlearn what you have learned. - Yoda

White is right.

I'm no pro but I've always caught fish on plain white.

I have a bunch of small all white Creek Chubs that an oldtimer gave me some years back and I hammer fish on them in the spring.

A long time ago a old timer told me all colors are good as long as they are white or black.An it has been my basic belief since i have been fishin.I am really not a proponent of "hot colors"i can honestly say i have never been greatly outfished by a particular color wit what I have in my bag.I change up alot even when i'm catchin.i just like to give em all a workout.I think the person on the other end of the line controls matters more.Now i love to paint fancy patterns but i got as many if not more fish on a plain old blue eye white gibbs danny as all the other colors combined.well except for yellow in the fall.;)

NIB I agree with yah all the way. Colors are way too over-exxaggerated. Colors catch way more fisherman than fish. I do have some I like better and white is a number one choice, but I don't paint my jigs, they catch fine. Many of my plugs have bare spots and need a paint job!

Told ya!;) If I have heard or read Flap talking about how much he loves white once I have heard him a thousand times......especially at Larry's Beach!:D

By request!
 

My first night out with my own plugs....17 fish between 15-25 pounds before they straightened out the split ring can't be wrong!:D Sorry picture isn't that great!:(

Guess I should start throwing my big white Hab's more...johnny

I had to start somewhere Ratt Boy!;) I promised John I would not go there anymore!:D

Not bashing you Lar, why not go with something that has proven to catch, nice job.:) johnny

Tummy colors
 

Most baitfish have a white tummy....sure with other hues mixed in but who knows how bass see...
