skinny Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 well when i got back into fishing I was going to a near by pond and the bite was good and regular. I know the pond is pressured.I also know the year I was fishing it it was kinda clear water. last year and this year it seems to be a very dark green. I must be tossing the wrong stuff. I was out last night and was tossing a jig with a craw trailer no luck my boy was tossing a wacky rigged pink worm for his first time out for bass. We didn't get anything till after he gave up and I picked up the worm i managed 1 bass So looking for ideas for really dark green water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 When all is uncertain I usually match the hatch with a contrasting color(more visible) to the water. Fish will attack and eat what they can see for the most part..In dirty stained water I will go black for a start and then see what happens. Good Luck !!
