Re: ZOOM WURMS
if the water is musky(im assuming u mean murky)then go w/ a darker color. black trick worm would be best IMO

Re: ZOOM WURMS
Well, there is no single right answer to this question.
Some think that in murky water you should use lighter color baits that stand out more, some don't. I go with darker colors in murkier water, like bassfisher said. A bass's eyes are not like humans, they'll adjust to the color of the water and be able to pick up darker colors in darker waters better. I'd go with a black, junebug, watermelonseed, or other worms of about those colors in a murky water situation. I wouldn't count out other lures though. I'd go with a all black colorado blade spinnerbait, because colorado blades put off more vibration, great for murky water conditions. |

thanks, phillip[/quote] Welcome . Now the first part of the problem is that you use either a cotton candy worm or rooster taiil. You definately have to get a few more types of baits for your tackle box. There will be many days when those 2 baits won't catch squat, then you are bumming out. I don't know what resources you have, but the next time to the store buy some different colors of worms. Try to buy a spinnerbait or 2 and start doing exactly what you are doing, by asking questions. Talk to the locals who are fishing the water you fish, they probaly can help you out pretty well, and my experience is that most folks are happy to help. Im murkier water, the fish rely more on other senses not just sight. So anytype of bait that moves a lot of water will help get their attention. Lizards/Brushogs/Creature Baits/Zipper style worms etc.... And adding scent never hurts. Since you already throw plastics, try some of these different styles of plastics, and Zoom makes all of them if that's the brand you want(I buy tons of zoom Lizards personally). Also if the water is rising, the fish generally will be along the shoreline feeding. If the water is falling, they will back off of the shoreline to deeper areas. If the lake is generally real clear, and it turns muddy from the rain, try to find clearer water. Good luck, and keep fishing. Lizards |

Re: ZOOM WURMS
Agreed that a larger selection of lures would help. But if you have to fish with a worm, I'd use one with a big action tail so as to give off some vibration, and maybe use a rattle with it also.
But I'd definitely try a Colorado blade spinnerbait and/or rattling crankbaits. |

Re: ZOOM WURMS
I personally would not be throwing a black spinnerbait with a colorado blade (Hula) lol. it also depends on the color of the murk. like i know here in florida that most of our murk is yellow so i like to throw a chartruse black combination with a willow, and colorado blades, except they are monstorus blades. and try to throw the spinner up near grass lines or through schools, if there are any. hope this helps.

Re: ZOOM WURMS
kevin,
We don't really have murky water in florida, theres almost no real mud (there are a few murky ponds,though), most ot the water is stained. If you're going to fish murky water I'd go with a big colorado blade because it sets off a lot of vibration making it easier for bass to find in those situations. And as far as the black goes, I'd use that in murkier water. I've been slaying hole 4 which is really murky with the darker colors, like black, junebug, and watermelonseed. Although having some chartruse in it does make sense, I'll have to try it. Its probably just personal preference. I don't think one would work better than the other as long as we;ve got confidence in it. |
