As day turns to night, how do you transition

[cow tamer]

Fishing from daylight conditions into nightime conditions, what lures do you transition through?
For me, in bright daytime, it's tins, shad, sm. sluggos, pencils, jigs.
During sunset it's danny's, needlefish, finnish swimmers, spooks.
At dark it's needlefish, finnish swimmers (on top), darters, lg. sluggos.
What's your preference?

Personally my bag changes very little! Daytime includes 3 sizes of pencils, "Prey" swimmers (lighter colors), "Blitz Seekers" (Spooks), a few "45" Swimmers. After dark.....take out the pencils and add some Danny's....needles, jointed eels and depending on moon phase my "Prey" swimmers may change to darker Black Scale, Eel Green o/Silver, Blurple! Also put some bombers in, again in the appropriate colors depending on moon phase.

White 7.5 Slug Go during the day.

Pink 7.5 inch Slug Go in the evening.

Black 7.5 Slug Go at night.

I fish all of them on jig heads weighing anywhere from 1/4 to 1 ounce depending on conditions. Or weightless if I'm trying to stay near the surface and i'm fishing in no current.

I am, most usually, on the other end of this question..................

My transition is from dark night to gray, false, and first. I doan work into the night much and plan my tidal and lunar assaults around working out of the night and into the light.

Love the DARK, LOVE the low lights and, and Love that first hour of light.

I go from eels/blk sluggos, white/white~red/blk~red/red jigs with Uncle Josh, yellow/blk/blurple darters in big water and pink/white/blurple needles in bigger water in the DEEP of the night, to

pink/white sluggos, herring/olive green/cremesicle spooks, schoolbus/blurple bombers, and blurple/white pencils in the GRAY, to

herring/olive green/blu&wht danny's, blk&clr/blu&clr/pearl Cotten's bombers, bunker/pearl/herring porn shads, above jigs, and the above spooks in the FALSE to FIRST LIGHT. I like to pop the Danny's on top, then let 'em swim about a foot or two beneath the surface after First Light.

Mostly it's about what works best for you and provides you with the most confidence, because that is the lure that you will work the most effectively and the one that you will achieve the best results from !!

I was beginning to worry. Too many guys say their chasing bass in the daylight. Are you crazy?? Bass are nocturnal. Even in the Fall they feed with more frequency and with less caution in the dark than in the daylight. If I can see without my necklight then I have no confidence of catching large.

I leave work and pick up some eels.

Have to disagree Piemma. Bass are not nocturnal.....and they don't sleep! They feed day and night! They may be more daring at night but they are opportunistic feeders! I can happily admit I love fishing in the light of day as well as the dark of night! Those who say they don't fish in the daytime are liars! I like to catch fish and enjoy all that is around me day or night along with a good bite! Topwater fishing is the balls! Seeing the explosion on a popper is the best! Different strokes for different folks but many seem to frown on those that just enjoy fishing!

I live on the beach some weeks/weekends and fish 20 out of the 24 hours in a day, so I do need to switch

Get up @ midnight and go out. No crowds, no traffic to deal with.
