I've been thinking that the best colour of the lure should be your favorite colour because you more frequently use the lure with your favorite colour in your fishing life.
You learned it from your many fishing experiences.
On the other hand, we know the theories.
We know that gold, silver (black), chartreuse, green, white, pink (red), earth and olive are effective for our barramundi fishing in colour.
That's very true.
But these colours are not always conspicuous, striking and strongly marked to barramundi under the condition of the different waters.
That's still very effective for catching barramundi.
You don't always need strongry marked colours.
When I can't catch any barramundis, I try to think about
Match the hatch ъ( ﾟｰ^)♪.
Normally, we think that pink and red aren't related to 'Match the hatch'.
But you've already known about red from the above video.
The possibility of pink and red under the condition of the deep water and the dirty water is greater than we had expected in 'Match the hatch'.
And
I know the worst colour of the lure for my barramundi fishing as well.
I think that many beginners probably like this colour because it looks cool.
Australian lure makers don't use this colour very much.
Probably, they have known about this factor.
American and Japanese lure makers use this colour very much.
I won't show it because......┐（~ー~;）┌
By the way, angling pressure is very common these days.
The higher the number, the more angling pressure or fishing pressure.
I know the place with a very high angling pressure in Darwin.
You probably can't go fishing there these days.
Location: Under the restaurant
I caught following nice barramundis there before.
It was thought that the steady-retrieving action of the lure should be very effective for barramundi fishing under the condition of the very high angling pressure.
67cm barramundi under the restaurant
Lure: PANTHER MARTIN Swim bait 100mm
Action: Steady retrieving
66cm barramundi under the restaurant
Lure: MARIA THE FIRST 90mm sinking
Action: Steady retrieving
I chose the colour of the lure with thinking about the water depth, the water condition, the lighting condition and the angling pressure.
Normally,
it is thought that 'hard action' is effective at the high fish
activity, and 'weak action' is effective at the low fish activity,
however, I know about the other important factors of barramundi's
behavior as follows.
Barramundi aren't convinced that they can easily catch healthy bait fish under the condition of 'flat surface'.
Barramundi are only convinced that they can catch weakened or troubled bait fish under these conditions.
Barramundi are keener to chase healthy live bait fish under the condition of 'very rippled-wavy surface'.
Barramundi prefer to make a surprise attack from structures when the sea is flat or slightly rippled.
It's the same as bushwhacking guerrillas attcking from ambush.
I
use soft plastic swimming shads in place of very healthy live bait fish
when the surface is very rippled, with a steady retrieving.
I use hard body minnows to imitate weakened or troubled live bait fish, with some twitchings and pauses.
Barramundi
won't take soft plastic swimming shads under the condition of 'flat
surface'. This shall not apply to the night time.
'Very flat' and 'very wavy' shouldn't be a very good situation on the shore on land based barramundi fishing.
There are more important factors.
One of them....
It's a very lucky situation!
It
is easiest to catch Barramundis that are traveling in a group at the
high fish activity in an area that has their favorite water temperature.
They will strike at any lures when encountered under these conditions.
I'm interested in following video.

Thank you very much.
