Jig color in stained water
I fish a small oxbow lake (Morgan Lake) off of the Altamaha River and do pretty good with live bait but finding a consistant jig color has been a pain and I am striking out alot. The water is stained (brown) with a slow current most of the year, plenty of cover and even a train trussell. I have tried all manner of black/green combos a few yellows, and a few browns but nothing works even close to live bait.
I was hoping I could pick your collective brains for some better ideas.
Birddog,
I pray that I may live to fish until my dying day. And when it comes to my last cast I then most humbly pray. When in the Lord's great landing net and peacefully asleep. That in His mercy I be judged, BIG ENOUGH TO KEEP.

Hey Birddog, good to see you are still hanging in here..I agree with Dutch on the Orange and brown colors. They usually work for me in stained to heavily stained waters....I remember once that a red jig with a chartreuse tail working.....Hope to run up with you again soon!!

I never have tried orange but look out BPS I'll be contacting you. I have tried brown but not brown/char combo.
Thanks again, I'll keep you posted.
