Do Flathead prefer BRIGHT colours?

Ep 2 - Swan River Snapshots - A BRIGHT IDEA - Welcome to the second episode of my new series - Swan River Snapshots. I’ve always been a big supporter of the ‘natural colour theory’ of flats fishing - get my lures and plastics as close to natural baitfish colour as possible. Bloodworm, motor oil etc. However, I’ve heard of the opposite working for people - bright, garish colours. I decided to put it to the test.
I’m fishing the Swan with the brightest, most unnatural colours I can. Will the bartail flathead like them? Check it out!
ABOUT THE SERIES:
In Swan River Snapshots, I move around the mighty Swan River, fishing brief sessions. Not every angler has hours to spend, so my hope for this series is to chuck in a line when I can, narrow my focus and answer some questions that our magnificent river has left me with.
Some other vids to check out from my Swan River playlist:

    Great video and awesome editing skills Paz. Loved the content. During daylight I believe colour is not critical especially for flathead. It's more about lure size, shape and movement. Night time may be different because of the UV spectrum. A cool snapshot though and it all goes into the knowledge bank. Thanks for sharing the learnings. Looking forward you your next snapshot.

    Thanks mate. Yeah, flathead aren't exactly the pickiest fish going around. I do find making these comparisons fascinating though. Great fun

    In the early 70’s we would catch Flatties in Mosman Park with home made lures mare from steel Coke cans.

    Great upload mate. I fish the Swan too but mainly in a kayak. I'm looking to change out my Mission 390 to a pedal kayak, which is more fishing friendly. Been looking at a few but they seem pretty expensive. Just chasing some feedback on your yak. Thanks again mate 👍

    Cheers mate! Yeah love my kayak. Suits my purposes perfectly. It's a bit bulky to load and unload, but it's stable and can chug along at a decent pace. Also didn't break the bank like a lot of pedal kayaks out there. Hope this helps 👍🎣
