I started rethinking this subject, shad dont change colors when the sun goes down. The last night we fished I out caught my son in law, him with a black sb & me with a white. I think it has more to do with the blade than the color.
Bass do see better at night than a human does. I think the blade is a big factor as well. That’s why on a brighter night you will get more “blade strikes”, therefore I go to a black or black chrome blade. Never tried white at night. May just do that next time I go after them at night.
May have to trade out a saltwater trip for a good bass fishing trip since I now live on the coast and have an offshore boat. I’m thinking I’ll sell her as soon as I pay it off, buy a new Ranger, and go back to the freshwater for the green backs. Heck, anybody can catch fish in the bay or offshore. Like shooting fish in a barrel. Bass fishing on the other hand requires skills and tactics. I miss that.
