I'm not sure that I get out enough to make a real case study of this but does anyone think that the color of jig/plug/corkie that worked best one year may not be the same color that works best the next year? And what about scents, one year I had some "nitecrawler" smelly jelly and outfisher everyone. this year it might as well be poopjelly, and I'm catching fish with some good ol shrimp oil that I've been packing for 12 years and had very little success with. I've also had to change from my old standby color of jig to something a little more colorful.
