Fishing Lure Colors Simplified: The Only Colors You Need!
Picking the right lure color doesn’t have to be complicated. In this video, Capt. Joshua Taylor breaks down the best inshore saltwater lure colors for Tampa Bay — and explains exactly why they work.
✅ Clear Water → Natural colors like white, silver, and green that imitate baitfish
✅ Murky/Stained Water → High-visibility chartreuse, gold flash, and pink shrimp imitations
✅ Low Light / Night → Dark contrast colors like black and purple for strong silhouettes
Whether you’re targeting snook, redfish, or trout, this simple rule of thumb will help you match the conditions and catch more fish:
Clear = Natural
Murky = Bright
Low Light = Dark
If you’ve ever been overwhelmed staring at a wall of lures, this guide will save you time and help you make smarter choices on the water.
