When that happened, did you ever notice that the color patterns of the different crawfish are often different?
I know I have & always thinking it was simply a color change to help the crawfish blend in with the environment and escape detection of roaming predators…
Well according to bass pro Michael Murphy, it’s actually a little more complicated than that as he explains in the following short video… enjoy!
So I guess the next time I am working a crawfish bite, I’ll pay a little more attention to the water clarity, presence of vegetation, etc. to help select the best bait color for those conditions!
