Battle of the Lures - Does Color Matter? Planer Fishing in the Bahamas

Battle of the Lures - Does Color Matter? Planer Fishing in the Bahamas
What better way to kick off our Bahamas trip than a classic offshore fishing Battle of the Lures episode? We have previously proven than planers are more effective at catching fish than diving baits. Now we take it to the next level to see when running two planers behind your boat, does your lure color matter?

Love the way you guys keep things so positive. It was a fun trip with you. Thanks for taking the boring aspect of trolling away so we can enjoy the fun parts only. It was good to see you at the boat show this past weekend. Steve - Sushi Maki

[@davidchambers9953]

Emily and Amanda gale. Looks like you ladies are going to be a good time in your video fishing for the day.

[@jake9705]

3:22 -- I was hoping the question was a twin truth! Haven't heard that in a while

[@caseykelso1]

Yup,

[@Tam58851520]

Many times, dark grey conditions can favor darker colors sunny skies the lighter..

[@warren6172]

I think it’s so funny that there is no possible “Fish Gore” that will freak you guys out. That tuna was mutilated and still flipping around 😂

[@duane.pearce]

Now do purple and green. Then put that winner against the pink 🤔

[@daddy-greg]

You girls are just plain fun. Good job!

[@ashman0071]

Amanda the drone goddess - think about rigging two underwater cameras on removable down rods from either your middle hull rod holders or your transom rod holders to catch underwater footage as you boat your catches - maybe an overhead camera on a pole above your T-Top might be another way to catch interesting video ; P You ladies are my favs .

[@mauroalvarezsi]

Great work! Y’all should try fishing up north in va beach and see your results here too

[@user-nu8in2tf7o]

😊 Once again you two ladies bring information and entertainment. Great job.

[@kevinrichardson6817]

I jusy love these planer videos

[@tim6986]

curious how much real world affect weather has. i've always heard dark colors on dark days, bright on bright. i only fish on nice days, and have way more luck on pink/white. but don't fish remotely enough to use that as any kind of creedance to that idea.

[@saltwatersoldier9781]

That's What's Up.... this video can be a part 2 and 3.... definitely the pink and white as a go to... like always good video

[@MRMIKE276]

Great video and awesome idea. I was being stubborn and wouldn't accept the last one but guess what, I haven't caught anything on my Nomad Deep Diver.

[@AM-el4iv]

Nomad has caught more fishermen than fish in my opinion.

[@MRMIKE276]

@@AM-el4iv To give credit where it's due, their squid jigs are badass... especially tipped with a squid chunk.

[@metonc]

I’ve caught fish with my nomad every time I put it out.

[@MRMIKE276]

@@metonc Could be region specific? I'm fishing out of Cape Canaveral and haven't had much luck but it could also be time of the year. I have most of my luck around August.

[@2-Live-Moo]

Kona is getting HUGE. Nice Video Ladies. Thanks for sharing.

[@rogerheuckeroth7456]

I think you need to get your trolling speed up to about 11 knots for better quality.

[@Slick6869]

Thank you for the very informative video! I use a lot of your helpful info and expertise in all my offshore fishing. You really get into the video which is so helpful on the water!! Please keep them coming!!!!

[@SouthTexasLivin]

Y’all are the best ❤💪🏽🤘🏽

[@Brinelious]

I'm always surprised at how often your catches get sharked. Is there anything you can do to avoid that or is it just part of the game in your locations?

[@metonc]

Blue and White sea witch with a ballyhoo is the way to go.

[@caseykelso1]

Thanks for sharing 🎉

[@AnnexF]

I love these videos!

[@EthanBonardel]

That's some fine Cuda fishing!😂Great video🤙

[@kevinkawamoto7322]

Great video! Learning how to catch fish. You're young so you have plenty of time to learn more. Maybe I can help a little. "Match the hatch",the colors that match the prey fish in the area is a good choice. Also, overcast or blue sunny skies will affect the colors choice. We use darker colors on overcast days for ono. You also need to know what time the fish are feeding and where the fish "dining room" is, depending on the current. Tight lines!

[@SouthTexasLivin]

I like using black and pink

[@robertborkowski3819]

On Chesapeake Bay, Capt. Norm Bartlett used to say, "If it ain't chartreuse, it ain't no use."

[@lethallure6260]

In topsail nc and I Have the same saying

[@Jake-ky9ed]

I think if run an entire spread of pink and white you’d be just fine! But I like dark colors red black and blue black in any waters for anything. Pink white is one of my fav as well though as well as blue white

[@siebertz]

The take away was to to use both colors! Next time do the test at 10-13 knots

[@TaitGuy]

I'm sure you've answered this question, but I never saw the answer. Who got you into fishing, initially?

[@jaybeazy4978]

They took a summer job as deck hands on a charter in college

[@GaleForceTwins]

Yes exactly!

[@devinwilmington1018]

make more videos my dada is getting mad he loves your videos

[@noomzy1027]

Did turns matter? Did you catch more on outside planer or inside? It makes a difference sometimes in fresh water but not sure if it holds true in salt water.

[@mulletoutdooradventures6286]

It doesn't matter color. It matters how it swims. I've watched a white marlin in my spread go back and forth through every lure in my spread. He swam up both sides of every lure. Inspecting, looking, making sure it was good. He finally came around and ate but after we removed the baits all the ones it didn't eat had small imperfections. Even more so when I'm mahi fishing. They don't care color. They care presentation. I'll get quads that each one bit a different color. As far as wahoo same. Presentation and preparation. You should drag that boat up to NJ and really see how good you guys are. You Florida people are so spoiled. If you wanna get a pelagic off NJ you gotta run long distances. Usually no less then 30 miles but usually 60 to 90. One way. But we get WAY better fish. Bluefin to over 1000. Giant bigeye, big yellowfin, big longfin. I have found some solid wahoo on the midshore lumps. Smallest has been 37lbs biggest 72. Plus add our weather. Nothing like being 80 miles from home in 15 to 20ft seas. I'll wait on that video 😂

[@francus7227]

Dude..... I promise I have as much inshore experience as you do off shore. My best friend has won a ESPN red fish championship tournament and many others. I have never fished a tournament or OFF SHORE. But I have fished the back of the boat with my friend a 1,000 times over 20 years. I've seen every trick, spot, lure work and not work on every species. He always has 6 rods with different lures and often the same lure but a different color. He is switching over and over and over.... I used to do that too. Now, I'll will fish all day... same lure. I'll change if the tide really drops or rises for a different water depth lure but not for color.... I am 100% sure color does not matter. It is 100% presentation. A red fish is not coming out of 20' of water to hit a topwater... You have to put the bait in the fish's face and it has to be hungry. Sure, it can be smart enough to NOT hit it. But it doesn't care about color. When I buy lures.... I buy the closest lure that's the type I want. I didn't even watch this clip. I went straight to the message board. I already know the fact about inshore. After I read your comment..... I knew two things. 1) You KNOW what you're doing. You are a professional level of fisherman and so are your friends. Birds of a feather... 2) Color doesn't matter off shore EITHER. Presentation is everything. I'm so glad I found your post. Not because it will help me. I am never gonna off shore fish. I just like being right and you helped solidify what I'm already sure about. Thanks again.

[@alexannis4740]

Purple works for me.

[@YeYBae07]

Amamda love you❤

[@EnujGeminiSetnarug]

I THINK PINK COLOR IS MORE ATTRACTIVE TO FISH.

[@johanyak-n-surf8268]

Could you recommend a reel for trolling with a planner?

[@GaleForceTwins]

We use Penn International 50 VISX - www.pennfishing.com/international-visx-1447410

[@johanyak-n-surf8268]

@@GaleForceTwins yes, i saw that. Thank you for the reply, you girls are amazing. If you could start again, would u choose the Penn International?

[@keithscudder7136]

First !

[@scottbarnes7460]

How deep will the planers take your lure?

[@keithscudder7136]

You're getting WAY too many cudas, go further out where cudas don't go. Off my Charter boat, we never get cudas in deeper waters. Try 250' Deep or more. Have a nice Day.

[@GaleForceTwins]

I wish, we were fishing in 3000 ft of water 😂 It's just a reality of the Bahamas

[@keithscudder7136]

@@GaleForceTwins Just East of the Bahamas, there is a trench which is quite deep.. BTW, slow trolling isn't advised, it picks up too much different kinds of "Trash" fish. You'll also find that the brighter the day, lures color change so use dark lures on overcast Days. Captain Keith. Have a nice Day.
