Fishing tonight? Don’t forget to pack a Midnight Snack!
One of my favorite situations in this whole world is to be on the water at night during a full moon. Most of the time, I use a black 3/8 oz. Midnight Snack with a single #7 smooth nickel Indiana blade to reflect the moonlight to score hits.
On dark nights, that same Midnight Snack with a #6 smooth black Colorado blade is the ticket to success. Once you find them, this is easy fishing; a medium-speed, steady retrieve will be the winner any night.
Remember, hammered blades do not emit the sharp, coherent sound signature of a smooth blade that you want at night, and that the silhouetted shape of a rotating Indiana blade appears more “food-shaped” than does a Colorado.
Also, as night fishing pressure increases, wary bass get to know the sound of a Colorado blade as well as you would know the sound of a noisy, unwanted neighbor. Fish are generally less acclimated to the sound emitted by Indiana blades and, therefore, are more likely to react to it.
Line size at night affects lure running depth far more than it affects visibility, so don’t be shy here. And don’t forget to invite me to join you when you go . . . I’ll bring the no-bug juice.
