What color lure/worm should i use for bass fishing in central Florida lakes?

Particularly the lakes in lake county Griffin, Eustis, and Dora.

1. I'm sounding like a broken record repeating this, but it is the rule of thumb on color selection.

Use dark colors in stained water, light/natural colors in clear water, and bright colors in muddy water.

2. I've fished Dora.

Good colors there are Purple, Red Shad, Black/Blue, Tequila Sunrise.

One of the best worms for those lakes is a Gambler Paddle Tail worm- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_90490____SearchResults

1.) when bass fishing at night with plastic worms use dark colors like black, purple, brown, and grey.

2.) in dark water, no visibility in the water or stained water use the same colors as stated above.

3.)in clear water use the lighter colors like yellow, red, green, and blue.


i would recommend you use the texas rig because of its weedless rig.


you will know when a fish is on the line because the tip of your pole will be bending if its big enough, or you will feel a tug on the pole.

the videos above teach you how to fish certain kinds of plastic worms!!!
