[QUOTE="TN Larry, post: 5682886, member: 2019"] Yes, no, maybe……lol. I’ve seen many times it did and many times it didn’t. Most of the times when it has mattered it made sense i.e. depth, water clarity, moon shining on night trips, etc. One trip that still sticks out in my mind though is one dark night on Dale Hollow. We were catching fish in about 15’ of water in scattered grass on a Zoom Ol Monster. A buddy and I had went the week before and caught them good with the color not mattering. It just had to be an Ol Monster. I went back the next weekend with two more buddies with one who had been catching them good. He started kicking our tail before dark on one particular color. My other buddy and I tried several other colors with most very similar and the other buddy was catching 2 to 3 to our 1 combined. We first thought it was just him in the front of the boat and knowing the angles to throw on the places we were fishing. That was until I dug out the same color and instantly went to catching them. Just to prove it farther, we pulled in on one of my spots around a dock with lights and my buddy put me on the trolling motor. I picked up my favorite color under lights with zero bites as my buddy proceeded to catch two behind me. I picked the other color up, caught one first cast and missed one the next. It was crazy how color picky they were that night. [/QUOTE]
