Yep, always good to have another guy with ya.
On bigger waters I usually try and match the color of baitfish. around here it's normaly shad or bluegill for me.Or at least go with something I'd call 'neutral'.
But in ponds I've caught a lot of fish on white, purple/black, chart. etc, soft plastics.
I also seem to throw alot of spinner/buzz baits with some wild colors.
