everything that was mentioned will work as long as it is dark. stay away from bright. sometimes white will also, but that depends on the lake, activeness of the bass and clarity of the water. the senko is meant to be very suttle, remember, you want low contrast, the better you can see it in the water, the less of a chance you will catch a fish

there are actually alot of lakes easy shore acess, try munksville, shepards lake, you probably know but the lower lake in ramapo, blue lake in sterling forrest (my all time favorite lake) and ive just been introduced to haeldon resovior in franklin lakes which has alot of big fish. pm me if you want any info on fishing any of these lakes
