Red Lures

Red Lures
Its nothing at all like asking why a black bear is black. I asked why red lures work based on the fact I have never seen a red one that wasnt cooked and the theory of color under the surface of water. Yes I have seen diet affect those things eating them, hence the reference to trout eating scuds and turning orange. The scud doesnt turn orange until he is dead,

I know how to use google, at least I hope so but I thought we were having a conversation. Guess not, share information on forum... odd idea.

Trailer Wheel Bearing Grease
Are they both marine? One might be made for regular trailers. You can go get marine grease at walmart for $3 a tube. Its what I run in mine.

Red Lures
What are they eating, things like scuds or is it dying vegitation? I know scuds due to the kerotine in them will turn trout flesh orange.

Red Lures
Ive never dug them out in early spring to see them. Im used to the color on most of my craws being between a very light olive to almost black.

Red Lures
I understand it doesnt vanish it bascially becomes a shade of gray. If its about contrast and we know it turns gray why not just make them gray to start with?

Red Lures
Id like to know your thoughts on the color red. I was thinking about this last night. I own some red, they do work but for what reason I am not sure. #1 - Its well known that the color red is lost at a depth of about one foot deep #2 - Although I have cooked a crawfish and they turn red I have never seen one turn red in the wild. I have also never seen a red species of prey fish. Why does this color work?

Water Color?

Ever Been Bitten By A Tick?
I mistyped that, its 1oz to 24oz of water and yeah its made for animals and yards specifically, not hunters lol. I posted that original formula on a national hunting forum years ago and I still to this day get pm's about it.

Ever Been Bitten By A Tick?
You are not supposed to burn a tick, they will vomit in your body and then thats when you get in trouble.

Ever Been Bitten By A Tick?
I go to tractor supply. In the horse section I buy a product called permethrin 10. I mix that 1oz to 8oz of water in a spray bottle. Shake it up, spray it on all my outdoor clothes and then let it dry. Its good for about 10 washings and the bottle is actually enough to make at least a gallon mixed. Its mandatory here, I hunt turkeys and mushrooms. You go in the woods without it and youre leaving with ticks. With my mix, nothing. Im actually doing my clothes tonight, saturday opens the turkey season.

What Do You Look For On A Topo Map?
I dont just use topo I use google earth and structure maps as well. Theres a lot of man made structure out there and you can find it on maps put out by the state most times. I can show you a topo map of a lake I fish and point to a spot and ask you whats there. Youll say... nothing, but I know theres 40+ vertical planks under that spot put there by the army corp
