My preference is anything with green or orange shading to it because most fish food consists of these two magic colors.

Question

What color of lure used during morning sea fishing?

Community Answer

Predator fish eat lures due to a reaction strike, so the color is up to you; it only matters how your lure moves through the water, and should be chosen based on the fish you're after.

Question

Do you need bait or lures?

Without bait or lures, fish won’t be attracted to your rod, and most likely not bite. After all, what would make a fish interested in a regular hook?

It depends on the lure. Some lures, like lipless crankbaits, are cant and reel but others like plastic worms, sink to the bottom.
