How I Simplify Choosing Lure Colors! | Flats Class YouTube

[@rdo075]

Great video, would love a night fishing video, colors and lure between the hours of 9pm to 5am this season. I fish inshore Sarasota between these hours and no video creators really hit on this time like I know you could. Thanks for the videos. keep em coming.

[@averageeverydayfishermansh4501]

Good stuff and verifies exactly what I have found up here in the Panhandle. I have my confidence baits and hate to switch them up but need to do it more because I know I am fishing the "wrong" color style at times. LOL! Thanks CA!

[@flatsclasscharters]

Confidence baits have their positive value until they don’t… experiment when fishing is slow

[@Protector-GL]

Great info C. A. Thank you so much!!!

[@joshstalvey5683]

Awesome and super informative video! I have been bass fishing my entire life, and just recently, about 6 months ago, I started fishing inshore. This helped answered so many questions and uncertainties I had.

[@flatsclasscharters]

Josh- you are going to find that inshore fishing is just like bass fishing with tides

[@RichardHoffenkamp]

I think you do a great job thanks

[@904ross]

I figured you checked your email on which color they wanted you to promote for the month. Keep up the info

[@fishingwithdrupydog5547]

I’m really glad you’re doing this presentation on lure color. I am a big fan of fishing the green lights at night out of my Canoe.. I also use soft plastics and top water lures that glow green in the light. You can actually charge them up with a flashlight.. Was sometimes having great results and other times no luck at all✌️💙😃

[@flatsclasscharters]

Love your passion as a big fan of this channel.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Salt Strong has glow in the dark 2.0 paddle tails now and should have other patterns in glow soon. I asked them to make glow about a year ago and they recently did it.

[@notsure7874]

You can also charge them up with a camera flash. Intense short duration light makes it glow great.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

@@notsure7874 I didn't know that

[@notsure7874]

@@comfortablynumb9342 We use them for glow discs playing disc golf at night. It's easier to keep your night vision because you're not fiddlign with a light that's on. You put it under something, or in a bag, and hit the button while looking away with eyes closed - you don't get flashed at all, and you know it's off before you open your eyes. I'm sure it works just as well with lures.

ID LIKE FOR YOU TO DO A SHOW IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY ON FALL SPECKLED TROUT, THEIR PATTERS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM IN THE FALL. LOVE THE CHANNEL!

[@flatsclasscharters]

Ray thanks for the support of the channel and I will certainly try and fill the request this winter on Speckled Trout patterns

[@truBaloo]

@@flatsclasschartersone on specks as well as fall snook patterning would be stellar. Thanks for all the vids and essential info you provide!

[@SmoothLures]

I’m pretty much right in there with you except I like to throw dark greens and browns instead of purple and blacks in dirty water. Zman redfish toad or Houdini for example. Still use purple in low/no light.

[@flatsclasscharters]

All good choices in my book 👍🏼

[@notsure7874]

So - scuba diving gear sometimes has historically had some neon colors. Fins, wetsuits, etc. Hot pink, and bright yellow. Bright yellow is known as "yum yum yellow" because it's believed by some to possibly trigger shark attacks. This is one reason I minimize shiny flashy, and bright neon colors. For some reason pink doesn't have this reputation. So when he's saying Chartreusse is "one of those colors" that just attracts attention regardless, I 100% believe him.

[@flatsclasscharters]

Well I’m definitely tossing my yellow and/or chartreuse board shorts away for good. Not a fan of sharks biting my britches 😂

[@notsure7874]

@@flatsclasscharters They only take a little taste! The problem is, that's one taste too many.

[@TheGrumpyKayaker]

Good Evening Captain, I fish a river that has a lot of creosote in it from factories that were there years ago so the water is that tea color you mentioned to almost black in some areas. What colors would you recommend for that ? I'm usually targeting speckled trout , redfish and striper in that particular body of water.

[@flatsclasscharters]

A combination of black/gold/orange or gold/chartreuse work great

[@kpfrazier6809]

CA! 👍🤙💪

[@ggotro]

Would you change your approach at all if you live in an area where the water is pretty much always really stained? I live in Jacksonville. Very imformative video BTW!

[@flatsclasscharters]

No… I would just lean into the darker\opaque colors a little more.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

It's worth remembering that fish don't see the same colors or wave lengths of light than we can see. I recently heard that bass only see shades of green and black. It would be nice to know exactly how our favorite saltwater fish see colors.

[@flatsclasscharters]

Yes we don’t know exactly what they see but we do have the data on how they respond to the colors we see for sure. I believe personally that silhouette and bi-color lures are seen more readily. Just my opinion

[@marcosgarcia9519]

What baits could I use for the everglades?

[@flatsclassyoutube5502]

Marco- Some of my favorite colors for the Everglades include black/gold, purple, white/chartruese and gold

[@htomly3]

How about cloudy days? You using low light lures?

[@84Melville]

Do you think jig head color makes a difference, contrasting color to the tail or consistent natural color with the paddle tail?

[@flatsclasscharters]

Depends on the scenario and personal preference… two color options are more visible to predators

[@freshandsaltyjohnny]

Yes it does. Like the guy above me said. It gi esd the fish a differentiating color which scientists said makes a huge difference. I use and make different color jigheads for that very reason and sometimes I catch 50-100 fish in a day so yeah it makes a difference lol

[@mikeloper9834]

Don't forget mirrolure 23 color for dark water eastern NC go to color this time of year

[@brainfish5501]

For some reason electric chicken works really well for reds in all water clarity and for trout i use trout imitation

[@flatsclasscharters]

Really can’t argue with that observation especially for the Speckled Trout

[@JSturr]

Great info !! But - you make consider getting a microphone for better less echoey audio -- just a thought 😊

[@flatsclasscharters]

Yes I definitely need to look into one. I have that big voice that is both a blessing and a curse

[@dwaynef5410]

What about fishing off a dock at night with bright dock lights?

[@flatsclasscharters]

Glow or translucent pearl works really well in that scenario Dwayne

[@Raven-jn6pw]

Yellow buck tails

Man we used to swing old yeller a lot back in the day
