Posts: 343 | My friend Don Pursch was the first person to point out to me about muskies having a blind spot directly ahead, especially when they open their mouth. Definitely makes sense. | ||

Posts: 32924 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Here are some images and video to show what happens underwater to color and light. The timestamp in the video tells the story. It's bright and sunny out with the snow scraped away from the shelter. The small jig is black with red stripes on the bottom on a glow white background and sides. The larger bait has multi-color spots on a glow white background.
Scroll through slowly if you don't want to watch the whole thing. The sun set at 4:59, and it's plenty light enough to fish for a half hour, but the light under the water is gone. There is plenty enough light above to see and fish for another 20 minutes to half an hour. I intentionally point the camera at the sun, pointing it the other direction makes for much darker video. Contrast... Video is not from the 1080 HD7i, that's next. it's from a Micro 5 Revolution Pro, resolution is 960X576. Lens objective is much smaller than the 7i, bur larger than a fish's eye.

Posts: 186 | Since color is a big debate, how many times has a bait of a certain baitfish caught fish when none of those were in the lake? For example, lakes without walleye, shad,perch,whitefish or any others, do you still catch fish with those baits that aren't present? | ||

For example, lakes without walleye, shad,perch,whitefish or any others, do you still catch fish with those baits that aren't present? Lures do not act, look, or sound like natural prey. If they did they would not work anywhere near as well. The colors are not right either. Doesn't mean anything other than the obvious, actually. | ||
