BASSPATROL247 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 My most productive color at night is called Starry Night, it is smoke colored on top & clear on the bottom. I'm fishing it on the bottom in 15-25' of water, so how do the bass find it? All baits push water therefore they feel the bait? Do you think i think only certain colors work at night or what?? You seem to be trying to prove a point to me and im not sure what it is???? Quote
Super User Catt Posted June 15, 2015 Super User Posted June 15, 2015 All colors work at night, just like during the day Does a black Jitterbug work at night because of the color or does it work because off the sound? Ya think a yellow one would not work? If ya want to take it as directed at you then I don't know what to tell ya! Quote

Its all good man, and yes all colors will work but darker colors with minimal(moonlight)light penetrating into the water are easier for them to see than lighter colors because of contrast like i and yourself stated..ive caught them on every color in the rainbow at night but darker colors have boated more for me ten fold...

BASSPATROL247 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I truly beleive that the biggest bass in a population of a heavily pressured lake feed more at night than in daytime. At least thats my experience from 30+ years in my local lakes. Are they smart and wait till night to avoid boats and anglers? No not at they survive purely on instinct, could it be that their forage is easier to catch at night apposed to daytime and they exert less energy to feed therefore get big/bigger?? I beleive thats part of it and im sure genetics are too...just like people, some people have sports stars bodies naturally and dont have to work out to be built that way.. i beleive the biggest bass in a lake get big from their genes and are for the most part destined to get bigger than the rest if they can survive long enough to not end up being forage themselves... 1 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted June 15, 2015 Super User Posted June 15, 2015 The eyes of a bass go through a night adaption cycle beginning at twilight and are usually adapted for black, white, and all shades of gray within an hour after darkness. I usually start catching fish 1 or two hours after complete darkness . 1 Quote
Super User Catt Posted June 15, 2015 Super User Posted June 15, 2015 BASSPATROL247, that's pretty good right there! Quote
Shanes7614 Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Favorite nighttime bass lures are a black buzz and spinnerbait with an oversized singe Colorado blade. No better feeling and sound when a fat pig comes up and slurps your buzz bait underwater. 1 Quote
