Hello! New to the website. I been fishing for a long time but just recently started getting real hooked on lake fishing. I love going after largemouth bass. This site has been full of useful info, so I guess I should thank you all for posting!

I rencently started using plastic worms and I've had decent luck with them. ( I just put in an order for some senkos after reading about 'em, and I got some scum frogs coming as well.)

I have a question though....how do you know what colors to use?...and when to use them? I know there's a lot of things that determine what the best colors are.....but can you guys just give me a general idea?

Btw- I'm in southern California. Weather here has been overcast for the past few days. I'll be going to a lake not too far from me this coming saturday. (Castaic Lake -http://www.castaiclake.com ) I'll be there pretty much all day starting from 6AM. Assuming the water is relatively clear and the weather remains calm, what is the best thing to throw out there first?

Thanks in Advance!
