The answer is algae and weed levels. It's the colour wheel and probably the way a Carp's vision is 'tuned' to its environment. As the water temperature rises so do the green algae and weed growth levels. As water temperature drops the algae and weed dies off. Red/Pink is opposite green on the 'colour wheel' so as the water gets more algae and weed filled and greener that colour continues to stand out. Yellow is close to green on the colour spectrum and disappears against a green tinted algae filled water and weedy backgrounds. In the winter the water goes clear and the weed dies off. Light filtering through the water no longer has a green tinge and yellow baits glow and strobe in the winter sunlight. Pink would probably be a good colour all through the Summer but I suspect that after a while the Carp get more wary of bright colours. So it works best in the spring when the Carp wake up hungry and less cautious. Later in the year deep reds and burgundy baits are probably a good choice. I suspect that a Carp's vision and behaviour may be keyed into various shades of red. They enjoy feeding of bloodworm which is a red haemoglobin colour and we all know that red maggots have a special 'pull' on fish, may be emulating the colour of bloodworms.
color (chromatic discrimination) is a metaphysical concept that is made up in the brain. the color wheel concept doesn't exist for fish & relates to human vision only. carp have a different composition of cone cells in their eyes meaning they can see between 10 & 50 times as many colors as humans including light in the UV & NIR ranges at either end of the visible spectrum. weed appears very differently to carp as it does to humans due to the way it is fluorescent in NIR light that is invisible to us.
Great comment pal - you think to much into things - there fish in a smelly lake that feed when they need to, experiment for you give your dog or cat pink food see if they find/see it better 😂
@@WilliamRose-ze9vqyes I’m well aware of that but it’s only ever been a side note but now the cell pink is out it’s all best thing ever (on a side note I have nothing against pink intact my pb was on pink an I also have the pink cell pop ups but I’m just saying) 🤌
I buy white squid boilies, then yellow, pink and red food coloring. Before casting dip white boillie in chosen color, and cast away. There is too much F in products on market, and people dont have money to throw away😔
You Don't Need any of these additional popups and wafters. Simple bottom bait matching what you are putting out there is all you need. (It's Logic) Popups Yes for Weedy waters. All a big money scam
@@KB_Bouncy_Castle_Hire It’s insanely over complicated. Half the gear I see UK anglers using is extremely unnecessary. Especially carp anglers. Carp are not complicated to catch. You toss a piece of bread or corn out, and you’re pretty much guaranteed to catch them.
On any topic, every country is weird to every other. Live and let live, we love our overthinking, over analysis and endless gadgets for carp fishing over here - keeps us lads out of trouble 😅

Carps eys sight deteriorates in winter .
Thanks, that was an interesting read

You just made that up completely
Now is the best time to fish a completely different colour when everyone goes on to pink 😂
I've seen it on Gurus underwater as well with a washed-out pink wafter 🎣✨️
When can we see the new underwater video?
It's funny how all of a sudden pink is the best choice when they have just bought out pink cell🤔🤔
they've been talking about the pink for years
They have gone on about pink for a long time mush

😂😂😂
Your getting there mate 😂
I use pink bait all year round with promising results, wonder why there is no pink pellets
nash does pink pellet mix
You fackin lav it you cant 😂
He facking daaz mayte😂
🤣🤣give that fairbrass his due, he’s one funny b’stard !
Love the lighter
It’s more about flavours than colours
Gotta disagree it’s probably a combination of both but I’m gonna have to say colour is the more important out the two
It's neither - black/brown snails bloodworm etc black foam 👍

Don’t forget bumbleberry
Yes 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
has anyone used the spicy squid supreme goo, i wanna know if anyone has caught anything on it.
Had pink out for 4 days on his lake had nothing put zig on and caught in 10 minutes
The only mainline bait id ever use is pink! The unknown and a bit old now but mighty Fruitella pop ups.
and what in the summer

Na wrong underwater proven that pink almond is amazing matching the hatch don't always work
Not really a scam tho if I’m catching fish
@@WilliamRose-ze9vqare you the expert then?
@@aarondavies8486careful mate . I think he the expert . Going on like he’s the best
Genelde kızlar gelir oltaya ❤
Don’t always work though
When did he say it does?
@@WilliamRose-ze9vq well all the time if you watch all the videos.
@@Carlmasters89 no he didn’t say it will catch 100% all the time… just said it out performs yellow in summer 👏🏼👏🏼
@@WilliamRose-ze9vq does it really matter. And Don’t try belittle me
@@Carlmasters89 well since the fish he catches…. Seen them react underwater yes I would say so lol
Nope pink in shallow clear water that's why it's always the one on film but I do better on white in deeper murkier water
What a goofy way to fish. 😂. People in the UK are so weird and pompous.
We are weird but not sure about pompous 😂
Goofy? Meaning?
