Fishing: the Importance of the Fishing Lure
Many fishermen just aren't able to catch fish. They just don't get it. Not only do they go home empty handed, but they've also missed out on the enjoyable event that would've kept them coming back for more. What's going on there?
Most fishermen blame a bad fishing day on the weather conditions. Some fishermen blame it on the clever and recurring practices of the fishes themselves. Other fishermen blame the tools they use, such as the fishing pole or the fishing line. None of these is the real problem, however. It's much simpler than all that.
One of the main reasons why fishermen don't have a catch: they've selected the wrong lure. This means your bait or any traps that you set. As simple as that. Your choice and usage of lures can spell the difference between any success and total failure of your fishing game.
In setting up your lure, it is crucial that you first decide on what kind of lure you want to use. If you want to use live bait, you'll need adequate knowledge of the procedure on how to secure them. Many fishermen who try to make fishing a more challenging effort get themselves committed to tying flies for lures. They become fascinated with this skill. As a result, many would end up spending more money, even splurging resources and energy to this rather than to fishing itself.
Using artificial lures is more popularly practiced by fishermen than using live bait. There are so many kinds, so many styles. Lures under this classification are usually made from materials like fur or hair, feathers, plastic and yarn or even thread. All these materials are fixed onto a hook or clip to create an imitation of a mature insect, a nymph, an egg or anything that would be attractive and appealing to a particular fish. And because not all fishes behave in the same way, you've got to know how to choose the appropriate lure for a specific kind of fish if you want to have a successful catch.
Believe it or not, the coloring and shading of the lure is quite crucial. As a general rule, the fish lure must complement the color and shading of the water. If the lake or sea water is greenish blue, the lure must also be of similar color and shading. It seems simple, for sure, but things are more complicated than they appear to be. The time of day must also be considered, you see. Light colored baits, for example, will not be noticed by fishes from sundown or early evening to daylight of mid-afternoon. The reason is because such a color or shading will merely cast a soft shadow beneath the water. For the same reason, dark colored lures will be difficult to notice come sundown or evening because the color or shading will blend with the darkness. It's a bit tricky and you've got to know what you're doing.
Choosing the correct lure is one of the fundamental principals that a budding fisherman must learn. Also as important is having this knowledge before you even consider venturing forth with any fishing adventure. Proper knowledge when it comes to this early phase of the game will make all the difference. If you want to catch fish, you've really got no choice. Learn it, live it and just see what happens. Good luck!

What color lure/worm should i use for bass fishing in northern new jersey?
several factors:
light intensity and forage species are the main two.
night, shaded spots, discolored water, deeper water (over 15' deep) use darker colored worms.
clear, shallow water, use lighter colored worms. also dropping an inch or two may make a big difference.
your main forage species are most likely to be crayfish and shad. as long as you can closely emulate these colors, you should be fine. don't forget - craws go through different color stages.
