Blue tail on Redfish?

and what about the other 95 + % of the reds that get caught (while feeding presumably) that do not have blue tails?

I am just stirring the pot, don't know but I do know that everytime my grandpa would take me bream fishing and caught a bull bream and it peed he said they were bedding. Next time you catch a bull bream squeeze him and see if he pees. I will bet $100 saltycash that every single one of them you squeeze no matter what time of the year will pee, so that is debunked. However, if you spit on your cricket after you put him on the hook, there is a 150% better chance to catch a bream and that is the gospel truth

Even a lazy red will eat a dead shrimp on a hook

what ratio will have blue tails though?




This would be a good study for MathGeek

I was always told it was due them eating.......Blue Crabs. Seriously.

Reaction strikes my dude - not all fish eat because they are hungry - lets just say 50% of the time, i am right every time..... pretty good odds isnt it - lol - I cant wait until anchorman 2 comes out by the way

50% is good odds

a few things are 100% true though

1. You will never see a buzzard eating a roadkilled dog
2. Bull bream pee everytime you squeeze em
3. Spitting on your cricket drastically increases your bream catch
4. Ducks Unlimited heats fields up north and....

When you hang upside down and the blood goes to your head, you turn red though, its gotta be a conspiracy With fish I think its got to do with countercurrent heat exchange, I can draw it but can't explain it

On another note, I am sure many have heard that if a mallard has bright orange legs when you kill it, then it is a 'flight duck', whereas technically most ducks have been flying when you shoot them. The ducks that have been in the air awhile have the bright orange feet, and the 'local' ones have the drab feet. The ones with the drab feet have surely been kicking their feet in the water, and the ones that are flying have em tucked away. I think this goes with the countercurrent heat exchange also, but I have not slept in a Holiday Inn lately. Really wanted W's answer for a laugh before I get mad at the TV for this upcoming debate

Actually I was told the orange color of a Mallards legs was hormone related .More male hormones made the brighter orange color ,indicating getting closer to breeding time. Could be fact or fiction .

Everything you ever wanted to know about red drum

[swamp snorkler]

Blood isnt't red till it hits oxygen......
It's more of a dark maroon almost purple color........ but thats countercuncurrent to the thesis of rlativitely and saltmeat.

If we do, does that mean that we got mooned?

[swamp snorkler]

Bob I would need a case of beer to splain it to you. For starters, I like to ice my beer down, cold is my favorite flavor. Where is Rat Dog when he's needed most?

[GIBob]

That is what I'm talking about, I thought that was where you were coming from.

[cmcnabb]

I was told the orange legs of a mallard meant he came from Arkansas because the water isn't muddy up there like it is here lmao

[Duck Butter]

if you are working ducks and then out of nowhere some drop from the sky, those are usually the ones that are all puffed up and with bright orange legs. It be colder up there in the sky and those are the ones that are the flight ducks so technically they may not have come from Arkansas but it is likely they flew over it

Legs do change color closer to breeding season though, but if those same ducks with the bright legs stay for a day or so in the fields they will have drab legs, this is just something I am postulating and I have no proof of that, so one would ask then why are snow geese legs always ugly pink?

I looked thru that red drum link and didn't find much on the blue tail, just said something about the young ones can sometimes have a blue tail
