A unique website dedicated to fishing information from Florida's Northern Big Bend. This includes the area from the Econfina River west to the Apalachicola River
I know alot of fishing stuff seems gimicky and is designed to catch fisherman more than fish.
But has anyone else noticed the irony of the red craze that seems to have just happened. They try to sell the bleeding bait hooks because the " red color triggers a instinctual feeding frenzy, like blood in the water" and then Cajun line says " that under water the color red is the first to be absorbed from the spectrum".
So which one is it. Or what if you use both at the same time, Will the fish strike the line and ignore the hook???? Just something I noticed while getting suckered into another topwater plug the other night.
Not 100% sure on this one but I think the red is visible to fish down to a certain depth, I know the color of blood changes to a different color ( I think it is blue) at a certain depth but I don't remember how far down it was, you know what I think I'll just stop here and let someone who know's what their talking about jump in GOOD Question.
Red is the first color of the spectrum to "dissappear" underwater. However, it doesn't dissappear. It just changes color. Red becomes, green/black below a certain depth.
Last year I repainted my boat bottom and my advisors recommended red since it would be less visible to the fish. Well I went with blue since that was the existing color and it seemed easier. Any thoughts on the best color for bottom paint?
Mine is usually the color of the material the boat is made of
“Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.”
If red would "dissappear" underwater, then the US NAVY would probably paint all their nuclear subs red. I have a red diving knife that when I am fairly deep it usually looks sorta brown to grey. But the red will not start to dissappear or fade until about 10 ft.
