Lure advice

[MAKAI]

If there is no light, how can color be perceived ?
Match the hatch by day, and use them at night.
During the day pay attention to how the lure works, it has to mimic what the fish are on, don't just cast and retrieve. Then apply that technique at night.
Practice and confidence will equal success.

Or you can take the art out of it and just throw eels.
Eels are easy and they work.

An excellent way of putting what I was taught for years!

I work my ass off using my plugs in any possible way, it's just at the dark hours the skunks start showing up. I don't doubt it is me, but I just can't rule out the other factors.

Either way, frustration is just driving me nuts here.

I guess this is just an intervention rather than lures. Fished for many years but always a lot to learn concerning the art of surfcasting. First season I have ever had not marking a damn fish and also not outfishing the rest even though the people around me are getting skunked as well. All your advice helps greatly, I guess this is just a fisherman's "growing up" phase considering I am just a kid compared to all you guys' experience.
