Question:
Once the sun is down and you switch to night Fishing. Topwater is a gimme.

When it comes to Bucks does color matter more, or do you think sound / consitant retrieve are more important.

Here is why I ask.
I have a nice 2 blade tail that I have been working at night on the assumption it kick out magnum Vibe / Sound. What I wonder adout this as it is Silver. Would it be better to fish a single blade tail in black.

Thoughts ?

I have never caught a fish after dark (although I've tried like hell), but to me, under water, doesn't vibe/ sound go hand in hand?
we were night fishing saturday, and i had a bunch of smallies hit my double bladed bucks.

It would surprise most how much the night sky is backlit, even on a cloudy night. Key here is there isn't enough light for color anyway, and the muskies are on rod vision which is black and white. Anything will work, but black will ALWAYS contrast.
