Rick: This is interesting... I have always heard that you fish according to water color as fish see UP through the water and see the silhouettes.. But it seems to me that no moon, vs a full moon would have more to do with color at night, if the water is clear at all. Thus, if the Bass see in B&W at night, to me, at least on the dark nights the WHITE spinner bait (or fly) would catch more fish.. I gotta get a gas motor on my boat so I can fish at the river and find out .. Chuck

Experts believe, however, that color can make a difference. Looper says,' Most folks fish a black spinnerbait at night, but on Arkansas lakes I've found that a white spinnerbait, especially a big one, out fishes black 99 percent of the time, especially for lunkers."
