I have read MANY striper books/publications over the past few years...
Everything I read says "dark/black" plugs at night except around the full moon... Every how to, article, opinion, always states dark at night... yet most Photos I see published, posted, circulated usually have a white plug/swimmer attached to the maw of a bass... I had much better luck this season on white at night, even around the new moon DARK nights... (esp. tattoo sea pup) it doesnt add up... intentional false-steering info? maybe many publications and opinions are rigid in their approach and still recite what killed 'em in 1983? Who knows... I know black works at night, but you'd think you'd hear more about light colors at night based on my success and others (many night shots with a light plug). I'm not really sure there's a question here... Chalk it up to cabin fever...
