little secret about cats

[Guest]

i was reading NAF north american fishing
this is one thing i never knew
cats can see color so what ever bait
your using put a 1/2 piece color plastic bait behind the bait you'll get more
bites let me know how it goes

I like to use a 1/2inch or so of foam of that ice buster bobber threaded on my line just above the hook, just to keep it of the bottom so's not to catch debrie and crud, but also an added attractant. But the attractant part dosent count much for really stained waters. What would be a cats visual degree in waters like the Red River? little to none or more than we think depending on run off and cloud cover. Later, boar

Channel cats have better vision than most fish.I have even read studies that said that they have better sight than walleye.Even though they see very well,I do not know how much sight has to so with how they feed in turbid water.All of their senses are so tuned that they need only scent and vibration to feed effectively.I have however do believe I have caught them when they were using sight to find prey in the fall when the water is clearer.They will attack jigs and spinners in very shallow water in rapids.

Did the article mention what portions of the spectrum? I found an article on a fish physiology HSOforum over the winter that stated Muskie see kind of like we do - from yellow on down, with blue being their last visible color (which might explain why so many of the promo/freebie/clearance/discontinued lures I see are blue).
