Night fishing

Post by Salty Gator »

A buddy and I have plans to do some night fishing soon. While contemplating what color topwater plug to use, I wondered how a glow in the dark plug would work. What do y'all think. Would it work, or would it scare them off. I usually use more natural colored baits, but I've seen good fish caught on pink spoons and nuclear chicken shrimp. Does anyone even make a glow in the dark plug? I'm sure I could find some paint that would do it. Whatcha think?

At night, top water lures will produce sail cats. That has been my experience. Live bait (pinfish) produce sharks. If you are far enough off shore you don't have to worry about mosquitoes or biting flies. Best fishing is under a full moon. If you can't see the stars, take your rain-gear along.

Especially during the full moon topwater produces well. In my experience the color does not seem to matter. When looking up into the light from underneath, all of them look silhouetted. Glow might work though.
