This is my first summer of serious bassing, and also the first time I've fished for (and caught) bass in my local estuary.
What I noticed was that the fish in the estuary were of a different colour to those I'm catching out in the bay. Those in the estuary were more or less sandy coloured on their backs, whilst those caught in the bay were silver.
Has anyone else noticed variations in bass colour?
Is this simply natural variation, or can they adapt their colour to the environment? Maybe it's down to diet?
