Re: White lures
Still hanging in there?
So what happens if we toss our white lure into dirty estuary water (type 3)?
Previously our inshore/headland/impoundment water only filtered out the shorter wavelength colours (all blue and some green) and we basically ended up with our yellow/orange/gold sunlight being reflected by our white lure to lurking barramundi.
This time, the dirtier estuary water filtered out more green and also yellow leaving an orange/red colour BEFORE it reached our lure.
Now we know that our white lure is capable of reflecting all/any of the 7 colours that reach it.
But only a orange/red colour reach it in this water, so it faithfully reflects orange/red.
So, once again, the water has done its job in apparently automatically changing the colour of our white lure.
I say "apparently" because the "colour change" isn't really a colour change at all.
To a barramundi in the water, it's a perceived change but Its real to a barramundi alright.
It's real to a human as well if we stick our head under the water too. Barramundi have the same vision colour sensors as a human. Red, Green and Blue.
Retrieve our lure and its still white though.
The colour change only occurs whilst the white lure AND the viewer (fish) are both under the water.
And THAT, gentleman, is the secret of the white lure. It automatically adjusts its reflected colour to suit the type of water involved.
No other lure colour does that. Just white
Simple physics. No rocket science and Its not opinion. Plain simple supportable fact.
I previously wrote about "a technical approach to barra fishing (or similar heading)" and this stuff about white lures is a direct result of that approach.
PS.
Our white lure will change colour for any other fish as well. Only have to remember that not all fish have 3 colour vision sensors. In fact,few freshwater fish do.
Most freshwater fish have only evolved red and green vision sensors. No blue 'cos they never needed blue which is a clear water requirement like ocean water. Freshwater fish in Aus evolved in similar water (types 3 and 2) to bass in the US lakes.
Large-mouth bass in the US are colourblind to any colour which has a blue component (from research by the University of Virginia).
Have a look at the US bass fishing pages about the colours of bass lures. Colour blue figures prominently. Good for a chuckle.
Ditto with the Aus freshwater fishing lure pages.
Ever notice how many of these guys refer to "natural" colours?
What on earth is a "natural" colour? In the words of Pauline Hanson "Please explain".

Re: White lures
The University of Virginia research team was lead by Lisa Mitchem.

Look at the scientific language used.
That's why somebody looking through scientific research into effects on fishing needs to be able to understand "fish-talk" AND also some degree of science-talk at least "to citizen science level"
