Effective lure-colours in the cold water season

As the lowering seawater temperature is ongoing, barramundi and their bait fish are not coming forward to the shallow waters in my usual fishing locations.
That is not an exception this year too.
Once the seawater temperature becomes stable, they will come forward to the shallows even in a very cold seawater in my usual fishing locations.
So I'm looking forward to July to come.
I analyzed the past data of that I caught many barramundi in July in 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

●Very clear water/Day time/70cm-1.5m deep/Rocky water
        Lure: Gold
●Very clear water/Day time/30cm-50cm deep/Rocky water
        Lure: Green
●Very clear water/Day time/30cm-50cm deep/Rocky-sandy water
        Lure: Silver
●Clear-murky water/Day time/30cm-50cm deep/Sandy water
        Lure: Green
●Clear-murky water/Day time/30cm-50cm deep/Rocky-sandy water
        Lure: White
●Very clear water/Night time/30cm-50cm deep/Sandy water
        Lure: Gold
●Clear-murky water/Night time/30cm-50cm deep/Sandy water
        Lure: Silver
●Clear-murky water/Night time/30cm-50cm deep/Rocky-sandy water
        Lure: Green

Hard body lures were relatively effective for barramundi in the day time.
Small soft plastic shads were relatively effective for barramundi in the night time.
Probably, the result was a surprise to you.
Don't worry about that!
Barramundi can take small lures even at night times or on poor visibility conditions very well.
Barramundi seem to be endowed with a peculiar capacity for sensing to danger and wave motion in the water.
Therefore, they cannot sense the presence of lures in the water when the noise of the waves is loudly.
A Squidgies Fish/70mm-80mm/Silver Fox made the biggest impact in July's barramundi fishing in my usual fishing locations.




Taking into consideration the various factors overall, perhaps, it is reasonable to suppose that "Kryptonite"in colour of Reidy's lures will be applicable under any condition.
The sensibility to colours of barramundi is probably different from our one.
This article is just written on the basis of my experience.
There are exceptions to it, however.
