Yea it can be vary hot color and if you start to it slow down have you ever transitioned to a lil more brown into the red always seams to work better for me
Another factor to think about: One reason red works well in the Spring is because everyone throws it. If 90% of anglers are throwing red, then red is obviously going to catch more total fish than any other color. This year, I'm planning on fishing some other bright colors like chartreuse where I would normally throw red. I'm curious if it's simply the bright color that makes them commit or if it's something about red specificially
Finally someone addressed basses vision and red baits. I’ve always thought that cold water may also change the basses vision since they are cold blooded. It may decrease their vision and because they see red well, they will hit it better.
You can expand on the fish's color vision ability when you consider that they are emerging from deeper water where there is more of an oxygen concentration. Actually, the oxygen content may be the same as in shallower water, but the pressure of deeper water concentrates the oxygen in the water. They become accustomed to the light penetration and to the amount of oxygen they profuse. As they emerge from deeper water, bass tend to feed on large schools of baitfish. I personally believe that one reason they target those schools is because their ability to see details and colors is in transition from their "deep water vision" to "shallow water vision". Large schools of baitfish, combined with other sensory signals from those schools, make for easy targets. As the bass adapt to the shallower and warmer water, (more light, less atmospheric pressure), they start to recognize more colors with red being one of the first colors. Consider the visible light spectrum; ROYGBIV, (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). Which one is first? Remember that all color is, is different frequencies of light. The visible light spectrum we are able to see is mostly only affected by air, where as what the fish sees is also affected by the water. Light doesn't reflect at the same frequency above water as it does under water because the light is "filtered" by the water. Even gin-clear water has an effect on light transmission. When fish start going after red colored baits, they have been out of the deeper water long enough for their vision to make adjustments to their new environment. How long that process takes is anyone's guess. It is very likely that this transition happens to coincide with the emergence of red crawfish. It is also one reason why bass in Florida don't really pay a whole lot of attention to red baits as much as they do in other areas. Junebug, and blues are more effective in Florida right now because those fish spend most of the winter in the same space in the water as they do the rest of the year. It also may be a coincidence that Florida crawfish aren't red, but rather blue, black and really dark shades of red. Those colors are "later" in the visible light spectrum, along with greens and such. There comes a time in a few weeks where red isn't as hot. We have all caught fewer and fewer fish on red going from early pre-spawn, to pre-spawn, and around about the first signs of fish on beds, red is dead. Take a look at some of our favorite red baits. They all are in some sort of "craw" paint pattern, and eyes forward. Is that how a crawfish swims? No, of course not. They "crawfish", or back pedal away from danger. Those red moving baits still have the exact same action as any other bait painted in any other pattern, and that swimming action is that of a baitfish. The best craw imitating baits are jigs and chunk baits because they move backwards, trailing their up-lifted claws, just like a real crawfish, but we tend to throw them in very natural colors, and nearly always long after red is dead. A red crankbait hardly matches the hatch, but it is in a color that the fish can see most easily at this time of year. Sorry for the big science dump!
One more thing about the color red in the winter/spring I have heard is because their eyes are so tired from the cold, and when they see a color like red, which pops out and stands out more than others, it’s eyes can only really see that color. The key factor being that they’re in a “dozing off” kind of state all throughout the winter
Red emits longer light waves. Thats why Red is in traffic lights. Because you can see it in further distance to stop. If the bass eyes are like ours. They can see red from far away
Actually, in clear water red light waves travel the least of all the visible light spectrum. For instance, the photographs of coral reefs are enhanced with red light if there is no red light added everything looks blue. This is because blue light travels the farthest in water.
So why in super dirty water is black and blue or other colors preferred over red...otherwise red would be dominant any time in stained or dirty water, right?...I'm seriously curious, not trying to say anyone is wrong or right....just weird that you guys are using color wave lengths and how they go through water, yet it still doesnt explain why the early spring is the key time for red
@@tylerwatson3651 varying forms of water color result in different absorbances. For instance, in tea color water resulting from tannins in the water, purple tends to transmit better than blue. Another example is that water with high amounts of algae absorb blue because most plants use blue and red light and skip green light in the middle of the spectrum (hence plants and algae appear green). With that said, more turbid water only causes light to reflect off of the particles. Therefore, the visibility is reduced, but the light absorbance is generally not changed from the base water color. To answer the question we have to remember that when you are fishing in the pre spawn with red, you are typically fishing in shallow water so light absorbance is less of an issue. Moreover, bass love their crayfish (especially in spring), so red is a perfect match.
@@austinmannigel8611 to that effect, doing land navigation in the army, they use red lights at night because it’s harder to be spotted from a distance, as opposed to a regular light.
Here in SC, growing up, I used to catch crawfish out of ditches. I’ve seen lots of red crawfish. I’ve found some very large blue ones also. Brown and greens were the other common colors.
I love yo-yoing traps off of deep clay points right now. I've caught nice bass doing this. It's an over looked technique. And gold is so underrated right now also
When most people throw a red lipless I prefer a chartreuse black back if the waters dirty and or cloudy then a gold and black if it’s sunny and good visibility. I’m up in Michigan and I don’t recall seeing bright red craws. A cpl years ago I found a blue claw on the shore of lake saint Clair.
Here in Southern California, the willows and some other aquatic plants have emerging red tips and consumers of those root tips pick up the red, then other consumers pick up this color, i.e. bass with red lips. Here we have red Lousiana red craws but the newly hatched craws are green pumpkin color, eventually molting into their genetic true red color.
I thought the color spectrum of crawfish was very narrow in IL for many years....Until I found a few mid-spring. Not only did I find live and dead ones in the blue/gray that looked EXACTLY like my Rebel Craw, but the dead one was huge!! I have since seen some with red pigments but not completely red. We see more in the green/brown typical pumpkin patterns but the blue ones really opened my eyes. No wonder they sold so quickly online..Oops. thanks Ty
Sup. Idk why either? But even in RI the crawfish turn red in mid April and may, then Sept into Oct? We don't have many deep ponds here, but whenever come across rock beds we take out the craw crankbaits. After that any color plastics work. We have turned over rocks for bait years ago and see crawfish do change colors. Shells harder. Great video Ty tc
I run crawfish traps every year hear in southeast Louisiana and we don’t have the amount of red clay where we fish at but the crawfish still go from a blackish brown to a redder color as they molt but I can fish a red craw pattern year round and catch them but I do a lot of drain hopping
I've heard that it's a biochemical reaction to what they eat in the spring. In the winter, they have a lack of Vitamin A (I think) which is what causes the black and blue color
@@AngryChiropractor I’m not 100% on that I may on a really good year catch 2-3 blue ones but anytime we get one that’s blue we throw him back of cores we are fishing in the swamp witch is almost all cypress trees witch is way the water is all tannic witch may be what gives the black color to the crawfish in my area
@@BassFishingHQ definitely check out Alex Rudd's channel. In one of his live streams, he interviews a fisheries biologist and they go over what causes all the color changes. If you could condense that and all the other info you have on crawfish into a single video, it'd be killer. Especially if you could get that out around pre-spawn. I think it'd really take off.
I actually buy pink trick worms. Because a lot of the worms in north Texas come out of the ground bright pink. When the the spring rains come in. Also check the Navionics seminar on crayfish, interesting stuff.
Fishing slowed down on the jig this morning and decided to try a red flat sided (lil john) for the first time today. I had an awesome day! 42 water temp, green stained water, very grassy lake.
I'm a firm believer that Red colored lures work in the Spring, no doubt. But To be Completely honest, my fishing partner and I won a Bass Tournament in Kentucky during the Summer, end of June, very hot day !! We won shallow cranking Red Bandits, and Norman deep little Ns. My point is, the color Red works pretty much all year long.
I’ve used plum, purple, and red shad to great success in the early part of the year. I never saw the translation to hard baits. My bad. Thanks for the videos. Tight lines and Godspeed
Crazy! We don't have red crayfish here or any other red bait species.. But red still works amazing for me in the early spring and late fall.. no idea why. If I was going to say any of the reasons you listed, since the fish in my area have never seen a red prey item other than lures..
Red absolutely works best in pre spawn on the bass in my local lakes in March and early April as I was tossing a 3/8oz chatterbait with a black blue sparkle flake skirt with a 4" Zoom Super Fluke in Avocado red and this absolutely slayed the bass and I also tried chatterbaits in spot remover, bluegill and Watermelon none with red trailers but caught few if any bass so red definitely made a difference then just last week as if someone flipped a light switch the bass stopped hitting red in favor of a chartreuse and bright white with a bright silver pearl with silver sparkles boot foot trailer I dyied partially chartreuse and my son and I caught over 10 quality sized bass each in our first afternoon of fishing Crayfish by me have more of an bright orangish color then red and turn a light green when they molt. I can only use chatterbaits or spinnerbaits in my local lakes as they are shallow average
Love your videos. This was so helpful. Had no idea about the craw and the vision of a fish. Sooo cool. Thank you for what you do. I like your pond and bank fishing videos. Love the 5 lures but I want to know what 2 Poles and what pound test you used.
I just picked up some red chatterbaits so this video is perfect! Love your videos because the are simple but have a lot of information. Keep up the great work!!!
I think your mostly right on part about them coming out of the winter and just not seeing as much stuff for so long. But there’s probably some truth in all of it. Who knows……just wanta catch them. Lol. Thanks Tyler
I like in West Virginia i have never seen a red crawfish. I see more browns tans and like a green pumpkin color and rare cases i see them like black with deep blues
From what I read. The smaller immature swamp craws will not burrow, so they tend to be more green in color. The bigger ones that burrow, tend to pick up the red pigment. Also there are several different species of craws, some that are green most of the time
Last year they drew down our lake in the winter and had a chance to pull up rocks and see what our crawfish look like in the winter , every one was green pumpkin , even once that were spit up after catching a bass were green pumpkin but red colors still work in the spring here, not sure why except maybe like others have said, maybe they can see it better
Hey Mike, the crawfish I talked about in the video prefer clay and they are more frequently found down south, but not always. Crawfish found in rock tend to be a different t species. I am actually going to be doing an in depth video in the future about crawfish and where certain species are found
Actually I caught a wild crawfish from a river and put him in my 10 gallon when he molted he went from a dark purple to a light green. It was very interesting I think it depends on many conditions such as water temp or food very interesting tho
I know in my younger years, I would get really dumb when I was chasing girls. Bucks/doe inn the rut dont pay attention to anything else. I think thats why bass will chase those brighter colors prespaw.
Does red still work bank fishing on cape cod in Massachusetts? Only ponds? Literally it’s imposes too fish any technique these videos are about when it comes too cape cod fishing, we have maybe 2 actual lakes so it’s bank or bust! How would I fish a crank bait in a big tree lay down when the trees branches are facing outward? And my crank baits going too be snagged almost every cast from the bank? Not too mention not every pond has a spot too fish from , as a bank fisherman unless you want ticks or fish and game nailing you for making a clearing? I’d love for you and some other iTunes guys too come bank fish cape cod and show us a video of how it’s done!! TIA!
Great video like always thank you. I do have a question do you know anything about that Bruin baitcasting reel? I would love to see a informational video on this product that is not a promotion ad
I plan on doing some in depth videos once I really put them to work. I have been using them for about 2-3 months before the ice came. So after I use them for another couple months, I will give a more detailed review
I have tried using chatterbaits throughout the year and in all water conditions and have never caught a fish on them. I thing I waisted my money on getting them.
Chatterbait is a waste of time. Never caught a fish on one. Every color, retrieve and condition. Waste of money. Makes noise and looks good. But bass in tn dont like em
hello I am a Korean subscriber there is no red colored bait creature in korea. In addition, red creatures cannot be found in nature here in Korea. nevertheless, I was able to catch a lot of bass with the red bait in winter and early spring. Perhaps it is an instinct imprinted on their genes?
Fish don't have red in their color spectrum. the shades and action are more important. red comes out the same as shad colors in fish's vision. craw color and species varies widely as the US has almost 400 species and waters/food sources vary widely. temperature and molting stage are a major factor as well. Countershading in fish and other aquatic species are a major factor in baits and painting/lures.
Red in Spring is BS. Just everyone throws it, so of course it will more fish by odds. Red crawfish are actually pretty uncommon unless boiling in a pot. And as you say, fishing below five feet and red turns grey.
Red can be everything!!

What type of rod would you recommend for the yoyo technique? Length action and power?
Here in central Ga. our craws go from brownish green to red dark brown several times a year.

Any other moving baits that benefit from moving then killing it? Maybe bladed jig? Any others?
That will work with any moving bait. If a fish is following it but not committing, killing it for a second or 2 can get them to commit and eat it

Thanks Jules. I see you popping up a lot in the comments. I appreciate it
Personally I think the whole red thing is a myth. I catch just as many on shad colors.
Red starts looking black as it goes deeper
I actually do well on red year round
If all you use,because everyone sys use it.then of coarse you will catch fish on it.I agree red works,but so do other colors.

I must fish the only place red doesn't work. I've had it proven to me over and over. I finally gave in.
That’s interesting. Where do you fish?
I want to support by going to Sportsman Outfitters, BUT there ALLWAYS out of stock on every thing
The bass boil them to make gumbo
Now that makes sense. I should thought of that
hello I am a Korean subscriber
there is no red colored bait creature in korea. In addition, red creatures cannot be found in nature here in Korea. nevertheless, I was able to catch a lot of bass with the red bait in winter and early spring. Perhaps it is an instinct imprinted on their genes?
Jack Park logical !!
Fish don't have red in their color spectrum. the shades and action are more important. red comes out the same as shad colors in fish's vision. craw color and species varies widely as the US has almost 400 species and waters/food sources vary widely. temperature and molting stage are a major factor as well. Countershading in fish and other aquatic species are a major factor in baits and painting/lures.

Red in Spring is BS. Just everyone throws it, so of course it will more fish by odds. Red crawfish are actually pretty uncommon unless boiling in a pot. And as you say, fishing below five feet and red turns grey.
Have you ever seen a red crawdad in Ohio?
