Color opinion

[Crappieorbust]

With luck and the weather holds I plan to go night fishing sat night. I have always used minnows but would like to toss some jigs too. Thoughts or opinions on size or color to use at night would be welcomed.

It ain't no use if it ain't chartreuse.

some use the black back white belly colors with success
others use the black back chartreuse belly with good results as well
crappie see so ridiculously well in the dark its liable to be about what they like or want
and not what you like or want .
I have had them hammer a clear bait at night so well other anglers watching had to come see what I was using .
my 2 cents it is ...

glow bobby garlands get another vote. jigging rapalas are another killer bait under the lights at night. I also like plastics with wings that glide off like puddle jumpers.

we mostly use minnows and floats with glow jig heads under lights. and a 3rd rod has a jig of some kind on it. . if you are talking about casting to them like bass fishing id use a crappie size safty pin spinner with scented twister on it. the vibe from the blade can make huge difference. other nights they are in a funk and want the bait almost still. that's when jigs can out fish live minnows. test them and see what they want, every nights different.

Thanks all. At least I have a few ideas to go with now.

Most any color will work, but keep the majority in the pink & chartreuse combination. You can't go wrong with those!

If I were going to be throwing the "jig" out into the dark water and bringing it back into (or near) the edge of the light ... blue/char or blk/char. Reason being .... "contrast" ... not only from the bait itself, but from the fish's point of view (being able to see the bait against the backdrop of the sky, or within the range of the light).

But, unless the area of my casts was overly "snaggy" .... I'd probably be casting a Road Runner, rather than a jig. The extra flash &/or vibration of the blade would likely get noticed a lot quicker.

Pink & black or chartreuse!
