I am a new fisherman with out any sort of mentor.
My questions to BFT are:
Which colours of soft plastics are good to start out with?
and
What are the conditions in which each should be used?
Thanks BFT.[bobhappy]

I've caught bass across the country with watermelon and green pumpkin plastics. There are so many variations of conditions that I can't even imagine to name them all but these colors are a good start. Typically dark days and murky water=dark colored baits and just the opposite for clear water where I use smoke/pearl colors. Of course, no 'standard' is going to tell a bass when or what to bite. Tell us more about where you are fishing and we'll do the best we can to help.

Usually from the bank around small ponds in warm non-windy conditions.

I've fished alot of lakes and my go to color is pumpkin seed with chartruese tail. I love any color with a chartruese tail i think it gets their attention. And it works for dirty or clear water. Good Luck!
