One of my first plugs on any night will be a darter. If I hook up with the darter, the darter stays on. Just keep trying. Some say yellow, I've heard that for many years. But if ya wanna know if there are bass where you're casting, use an eel. You'll know for sure.

Be encouraging, not discouraging

I too have done much better during the new moon than the full moon. The worst nights for me are the full moon combined with a flat sea. I go with light colored plugs - white or yellow during the full moon like a habs needle or a bm atom jr.

I'll take the darkest of nights over a full moon any time,however I don't rule out full moons.I will fish whenever I can and make the best out of the condtions.when fishing full moons I will only fish eels,seen pencils work on bright nights too. one time last fall they took bass for my partner at night that wouldn't even take the eels.I remember two good fish that I took on full moons at low tide with no surf one was 28# I pulled out of a rock pile in 3' of water after a long night of nothing fishing a strong rip.The other came from the same place diffrent spot same thing fished the rocks and moving water all night for nothing walking out I made a cast on the sandy flat beach at low water could see down the whole beach.got a 26# fish.sometimes we know to much.
