I don't focus on the sky color as much as the water clarity and cover coloring. I usually try to match the underwater cover. I throw darker worms against rocks and mud, green variations into the grasses. My thought is that I don't want the fish to be able to really identify the bait. I want them to strike based on motion.

I do think that worm size starts to matter more as you get into the larger worms. (10 inch and up) It is true that I have caught small fish on the large worms, but they are far more an exception than the rule. I find this to be the most true in pre spawn, post spwan and early fall. I consider these to be the times when the bass are looking for the most protien without having to exert as much effort.
For me, this is when the bigger bass will agressively hunt the larger bait, often knocking the smaller ones out of the way to get to it.

where can you get some 18" worms? I would really like some big ones!
