I'm not a fan of bright cloudless nights myself
Things I've done to help with that.
1. Skin plugs, mostly swimmers, fished just below the surface. Insane blow ups and some savage hits.
2. Jointed plugs, I don't have a reason, but last year under a bright moon throwing a bm squeelie in gasoline color I took 3 fish all over 20 lbs on 6 casts, and a bunch of high teen fish that night. Only thing they would touch. And they were a lot closer in than usual, my hits were coming 2/3 of the way in.
3. Small metal lips like the bm spin (herring color) and ccw small Danny (mullet color)
4. Bright moon with cloud cover. The fish would only hit when the clouds would block the moon, dead low, incoming tide. We had (2 of us) fish almost every cast if the moon was covered for a whole tide, before we had to go back to shore with the tide coming in. Fish would crush anything that would reach em, mostly the old 2oz Afterhours needle and the Habs 2.5oz, it got to the point that when the moon wasn't covered we'd stop fishing and bs and retie leaders and get ready for the next batch of clouds
