Nice question and very easy to answer.
In the warmer climate, many of the baitfish can appear almost the same color out of the water to the human eye as they would in the colder water.
The same fish, while in the water, will appear differently in warm water than they do in cold water.
Since fish don't perspire, they do control heat and cold through thier scales. During the heat, the scales will be slightly open and looser.
During the cold, the scales will be tighter and more compact to the body. This gives a different rate of reflection.
Us humans interpret the shades that the fish see into the colors of the spectrum.[cool]
