This is by far the toughest question to answer. Almost everybody has a different take. So I'll offer my suggestion based on what has worked for me. I deal with color selection all the time when I fish LMB...( that's a another story

)...
I like anything in a Sardine or Anchovie pattern....I like the "Green Sardine" , "Silver Sardine", "Bay Smelt", and "Pacific 'Chovy" colors by Big Hammer...
I also like the "Halloween" by FishTrap/Big Hammer for an all around color.
Although I do admit that they were on the "Bleeding Sardine" by MC like flies on shat the other day....I just try to "match the hatch" most of the time. But don't be afraid to be bold...try different colors. Find out what works for you on that particular day based on the conditions. I've caught fish on the "rainbow trout" color before as well..."When in doubt, throw the trout"...LoL
Hope this helps dude...

I tried azz/collar/nose/all-of-the-above hooking style and the birds still got em...LoL I think there were over 30 birds any given time. They still got your bait if you added lead. My buddy put a 2 ounce sinker on and they still got the bait! You're fishing such shallow water, it's useless. Relentless I tell ya!
